I lead with imagination and empathy to tackle some of society’s most urgent challenges, advancing public health, gender equity, education, and racial justice through bold, community-rooted storytelling.

As Executive Director of Serve Marketing, the nation’s only all-volunteer nonprofit ad agency, I’ve partnered with over 30 mission-driven organizations to create campaigns that shift behavior, build awareness, and drive measurable impact. Whether advocating for early childhood education or confronting human trafficking, I stay focused on a clear goal: center people, elevate stories, and inspire lasting action.

Alongside campaign work, I am committed to guiding the next generation of changemakers. I launched the Serve Diversity Scholarship and have mentored early-career professionals who are now shaping the future of advocacy, communications, and nonprofit leadership.

Through inclusive collaboration and fearless creativity, I strive to move people and communities forward, one story at a time.

Let’s do some good together.
