Executive Director at US VALOR, guiding board governance and a national workforce development initiative for veterans.

At US VALOR, I serve as the primary staff liaison to the Board of Directors, preparing board materials and supporting governance decisions and fiduciary responsibilities. I translate the Board’s vision into operational plans across programs, fundraising, and staff leadership.

I also develop the annual financial plan with the Board and oversee budgeting and fiscal accountability. As the organization’s principal external representative, I steward relationships with funders, community partners, and civic leaders, while planning fundraising campaigns and donor cultivation.

Previously, I managed a $20M U.S. Department of Labor Cooperative Agreement at the American Association of Community Colleges, coordinating 108 partner organizations. My work has also included governance operations at The Vision Council and government client project management at Dark Echo Tech, LLC.
