I am a versatile professional with a wealth of experience across many sectors, currently serving as the Executive Director of the local public school district foundation since 2016. Leveraging my extensive executive background and commitment to community service, I have been instrumental in advancing education initiatives within the school district all with an equity lens. A graduate of the Marin Leadership for Equity and Opportunity program, I apply its principles to champion equity in arts education and student wellness. My educational journey includes earning a degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and launching my career in Silicon Valley and the UK as a high-tech sales engineer. Seeking a deeper sense of purpose, I transitioned to the culinary arts and teambuilding sphere, where I led a small business through the rigorous B Certification process, demonstrating a dedication to social and environmental responsibility. I am driven in all that I do by my core values of compassion, fairness, and joy.Specialties: Fundraising, Grant Writing, Relationship Building, Community Engagement, DEIB, Strategic Planning, Business Generalist, Non-Profits, Small Business, Budgeting, Financial Modeling, Business Planning, Problem Solving, Contract Negotiations and Partnerships.
