About

With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit, social enterprise, and philanthropy, I specialize in fundraising, strategic partnerships, and donor management. My work is driven by a commitment to advancing equity and closing the racial and gender wealth gap. I bring a deep understanding of relationship building and resource mobilization, along with a passion for growing the solidarity economy through values-aligned fundraising and investment strategies.
