I am the Development Director at BBBS Columbia Northwest. In my role, I help to keep supporters and volunteers updated and connected to our vital work. I also lead our Ambassador Board, a group of young professionals, who collaborate with the BBBS Board and staff to strengthen and grow the impact of our mission.

Over the last 14 years, I have had the honor of working for non-profits around the country such as Planned Parenthood, Boston Medical Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Habitat for Humanity, and the Children’s Cancer Association.  

Growing up, as the youngest of three, in a single mother household, local non-profits and after-school programs were a lifeline for us. As the first in my family to graduate high school, college, and graduate school, I always knew I wanted to work in the non-profit sector to pay it forward for the help my family received. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the caring help of mentors in my life.
