I have over 20 years of experience in Nonprofit and Special Event Management, excelling at creative strategy and coordination of projects, events and development and marketing campaigns.

I am a passionate and committed believer in the power that nonprofits have to make the world a better place.  In my early career, I served as a Program Director for a variety of child-focused nonprofits, including the Sonoma County Family YMCA, New Zealand YMCA, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco.  In addition, I have worked as a Hospitality and Special Event Manager for multiple companies throughout the greater Bay Area and as Development and Special Events Director for Jack London Park Partners in Glen Ellen, California.  Most recently, I have overseen marketing and special event support for One Drop of Kindness, an organization that focuses on building kindness in schools through book distibution and assemblies.  I am a graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science in Recreation Administration.
