My Passion for the Mission
I am excited by the ability of nonprofits to create real change at the community level. I stay motivated by watching how proper resources, mentorship, and advocacy can break cycles of hardship and open doors to healing and opportunity. For me, nonprofits represent hope in action and a way for everyday people to work together to solve pressing social issues.
Experience
I have worked hands-on in the nonprofit sector as both a founder and executive director. Through Altitude Coaching Enterprise LLC, I have provided consulting and capacity-building support to multiple nonprofit organizations. Through Heels to Heal, I have designed and managed direct-service programs for women and children affected by domestic violence, giving me firsthand experience in addressing community needs and building sustainable services.
