I grew up professionally in rooms I had no business being in — and figuring out how to be useful anyway.

At fifteen I was doing data analysis and policy research alongside one of the country's leading economists. By twenty-two I was his de facto Chief of Staff, managing operations, preparing Congressional hearing materials, and representing him in Washington when he was unavailable. While my peers were working summer jobs, I was learning what it looks like when a senior leader genuinely invests in someone — and quietly deciding that's the kind of leader I wanted to be.

That early experience set the pattern for everything that followed. At Deloitte I was the consultant senior government stakeholders called when they needed someone who could hold the strategic picture and the operational details at the same time. At Fannie Mae I kept getting pulled toward the most important unfilled need in the organization — regardless of what my job title said. The Marketing People Council. The onboarding overhaul. The design operations turnaround. The strategic recommendation to sunset a product I had personally redesigned. None of those were formally my job. Leaders kept asking me to do them because I was the person who knew how.

That's the through-line: I find the thing the organization actually needs, build the conditions for it to happen, and have the courage to own the recommendation when it's time.

Outside of work you'll find me on the ultimate frisbee field, at the pottery wheel, or in the front yard with my daughter. I get the work done — and I know that showing up fully for the people and things that matter outside the office is what makes it sustainable. I'm looking for an organization that understands the difference.

I'm a certified Project Management Professional, hold a Master's in UX Design from MICA — summa cum laude — and a degree in Economics from Ohio University where I was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. I'm also a design thinking facilitator, a coach, and someone who has spent thirteen years believing that the most important work in any organization is helping the people inside it do their best.

I'm looking for a Chief of Staff, Head of People Development, or Organizational Effectiveness role at a mission-driven company where I can build something real. If that sounds like something you need, let's talk.
