Pioneered sustainability effort to consistently deliver high-quality furniture using toxin-free materials throughout our supply chain. Perpetual learner always looking for the next challenge or improvement to significantly improve corporate culture and work environment.I’ve been integrally involved in the development and growth of Hightower since we started our company in 2003. I work closely with our global designers and manufacturing partners to identify thoughtfully designed, relevant, and functional pieces - many of which are then manufactured in the US. Our partnerships and well-curated collection set us apart and set our clients up to stand out in a highly competitive field. With established offices in High Point, NC, Kansas City, MO and a recent return to Seattle, WA with a new office/showroom, I have enjoyed being a part of the expansion and growth of our stellar team. It was an honor to be recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal as a member of the 2018 class of “40 Under 40” business leaders in the Seattle region. My non-profit work is very important to me as well. I'm past Board Chair of Reading Partners Seattle and still active on the Board. In 2017, I was humbled to receive the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award for my tutoring work at a Title 1 public school here in King County. I’m passionate about contributing consistently for the students I work with as well as educational causes overall. I welcome additional opportunities for board work, philanthropy or industry connections.----------Interior Design Magazine, HIP Leader of the Year for 2024MO Summit TOP 100 Impact Leaders in 2024PSBJ 40 Under 40 in 2018
