About

I lead mission-driven organizations that change lives — and I measure success by the people and communities that come out stronger.For more than two decades I've built and turned around nonprofits, social enterprises, and community institutions across the Bay Area, pairing strategy and operational discipline with a genuine commitment to the people we serve. My work has spanned fundraising and capital campaigns, program design, partnership development, strategic planning, and team leadership, always anchored in three values: faith, integrity, and empowerment.As Executive Director of Today's Youth Matter, I'm honored to steward a 30-year legacy of investing in children, youth, and families throughout Richmond, and the surrounding Bay Area communities. My focus is on deepening our impact — strengthening mentorship and leadership programs, building sustainable partnerships, mobilizing resources, and creating pathways for young people to discover their potential and pursue brighter futures.Across every role, the through-line has been the same: listen first, build trust, align people around a shared mission, and deliver results that last.Let's connect if you care about youth development,
