I'm Executive Director of the Foundation for Community Driven Innovation, a Tampa based nonprofit dedicated to supporting academic achievement, economic development and the spirit of innovation through inspiring programs and active learning projects, including AMRoC Fab Lab, ROBOTICON Tampa Bay, and Gulf Coast MakerCon. I am a writer by trade, the author of two books on health, co-author of Makerspaces in Libraries (Rowman & Littlefield, 2015) and Library Makerspaces: The Complete Guide (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018) , and also work as a creative partner with Eureka Factory, a consulting and educational event production company. I believe strongly in the value of collaboration and the strength of mentor-based learning, through which I work to build capacity in client agencies and constituents. I have more than 30 years of social entrepreneurship experience across a diverse spectrum of fields and interests, all focused on doing work I'm passionate about in a way that I hope makes my corner of the world a little better for the community with whom I share it.
Listed skills include Nonprofits, Community Outreach, Social Media, Leadership, and 35 others.
