Uncertainty doesn’t scare me; it wakes me up. It makes space for creativity, connection, and unexpected joy.

That mindset guides everything I do. I’ve helped people and organizations speak with honesty, lead with heart, and create moments that make others feel seen, understood, and less alone.

I come from the world of nonprofits and mission-driven work. But what truly fuels me is that electric sense of alignment — when values, people, and purpose click. That’s where the good stuff lives. That’s what I want more of.

I don’t know what’s next. And I love that.

How I Walk the Path

Over the years, I’ve worked with mission-driven organizations that challenged me, grounded me, and expanded how I show up in the world. These roles weren’t just jobs — they were chapters in a larger story of connection, service, and growth. Each one taught me something different about inclusion, leadership, creativity, and care.

Portland Adult Education: A place that became more than work — it became a calling. At PAE, I supported adult learners from around the world and helped amplify a mission rooted in dignity, access, and transformation.

Portland Downtown: Here I helped connect community voices with the heart of the city — promoting local businesses, public spaces, and the creative energy that brings downtown Portland, Maine to life.

Pine Tree Society: At this nonprofit focused on disability inclusion, I saw how access, respect, and small gestures of care can shape someone’s experience — and how quiet dignity matters just as much as bold advocacy.

WinterKids: At WinterKids, I witnessed the power of movement, outdoor learning, and childhood joy — and how public health, equity, and fun can work together in beautiful, lasting ways.

Mainebiz: My time at Mainebiz taught me the value of clarity, curiosity, and thoughtful execution — especially in the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that helps great stories land.
