What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles in mission-driven organizations where I can lead portfolio growth, strategic partnerships, and fundraising while driving measurable impact and organizational resilience.

I am a strategic, mission-driven executive with 20+ years leading portfolio management, venture development, and strategic partnerships across healthcare, higher education, and nonprofit sectors. I evaluate opportunities through due diligence, market analysis, and financial modeling to guide initiatives from business case to commercialization.

As Foundation Director at Citrus College, I directed enterprise-wide strategy for a $15M foundation portfolio, oversaw annual operating budgets, led investment due diligence and risk management, and managed $375K in annual scholarships to remove financial barriers for students.

I have a track record of building high-performing teams and presenting complex business cases to executive leadership and boards, partnering with a 40-member board and senior leadership to drive growth, innovation, and long-term capital planning while maintaining 12+ years of clean external audits.

I am recognized for balancing risk management with aggressive growth targets, leading digital transitions and crisis response efforts, and securing six- and seven-figure philanthropic commitments through disciplined stewardship and strategic engagement.
