Brief Biography

I am currently a program director/manager and board member for various organizations. Each institution’s mission uniquely aligns with my passions for community, youth violence prevention, mental health and wellness, and education. I am a Denver native. I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ where I obtained my degree from Northern Arizona University. I enjoy traveling back home often to be present in the work that I do in the community. With over 10 years of experience in program management in different industries, I developed a strong sense of devotion to the nonprofit sector as I began to search for my “why” in the work that I was doing. I am extremely passionate about giving choices and educating people about available resources (specifically for youth) to help them meet their life goals. I seek to improve the quality of life for underserved individuals, especially for Denver; one program at a time.
