What do you do at NCFP?

I curate our programs for giving families, peer networks, and community foundations. I connect families and staff to resources, tools, and others with similar experiences.

What did you do before NCFP?

I came to NCFP after a few years working at a family foundation remotely to lead a national network and capacity building effort, supporting youth engaging in philanthropy. My experience includes having worked at community foundations across the country in Boston, San Diego, and Tucson. I hold masters’ in nonprofit management and philanthropy from Indiana University’s SPEA & Lilly Family School. I have a bachelor’s degree from Wittenberg University. I grew up in Illinois.
