y commitment to the nonprofit world has been cultivated over many years of experience working with talented, creative and tireless people who “make things happen.” I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to be part of organizational teams that turn passion and vision into reality.

At the chief executive level, I have successfully worked with board and program development, marketing, and fundraising on local, regional and national levels. I have a strong reputation for producing results through my talents and skills in organization, team-building, creative strategies, and communications.

With a BA in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, I continued my studies abroad in foreign language and pursued post-graduate work in English literature. Those studies were a solid foundation for my career, but my most valued education came later by living life and having so many good teachers along the way.
