Q&A

Why is your heart in this work?

I have so much respect for organizations that step into hard challenges and advocate for people who need a voice — and I love helping them secure the resources to keep doing that work.

What's your at-work super power?

Finding the story behind the mission — and helping teams tell it in a way that inspires funders to invest.

How do you like to spend your time when you're not working?

I’m one of those millennials who’s gone all-in on the so-called “granny hobbies”: gardening, baking, bird-watching — you name it.
