Strategic nonprofit leader, systems thinker, and creative campaign designer with more than a decade of experience driving mission‑aligned impact across the Gulf South. I specialize in transforming complex challenges into clear, actionable strategies—whether through policy advocacy, program design, grant writing, or community‑centered facilitation. My work blends technical rigor with narrative insight: I build data‑driven systems that empower organizations, and I craft stories that move people toward collective action.
My background spans environmental justice, energy equity, regenerative community development, and organizational capacity building. I’ve led statewide programs, secured major grants, built coalitions, and delivered high‑impact training for diverse audiences. With advanced expertise in GIS, data storytelling, and technical documentation, I bring clarity and structure to initiatives that require both analytical depth and human‑centered design.
I’m currently seeking mission‑driven roles—contract or full‑time—that value strategic clarity, creative problem‑solving, and community‑rooted impact.
