Both in my personal and professional life, I lead with empathy as my guiding value. I ask myself “How would I want to be treated in scenario?” and I build it form there.

While working in two industries (Education & Art) that are constantly under the budgeting chopping block. I am proud to be informing and advocating public servants and communities about the benefits of Education and the Arts.

After many surveys from friends, family members, colleagues, and supervisors, the number one word they would use to describe me is warmth. My philosophy is to be approachable and be the person people can turn to, especially if they are new to an organization.

I am very fortunate to have been put in career and life experiences to be introduced to different cultures and lifestyles. I strive to continue that open demeanor to be able to be introduced to new cultures and experiences.
