I am a Baltimore-born organizer, writer and fundraiser with more than two decades of experience developing leaders who drive meaningful change in their communities. My work has been rooted in equity and a deep belief in the power of local leadership—especially leaders of color, women, and caregivers whose voices are essential to shaping our civic future.

Across my career, I’ve raised millions for nonprofits, coached candidates and strengthened organizational capacity. I bring a blend of grassroots organizing, campaign strategy, and social work practice to every project I work on, grounding my work in relationships and practical results.

As a Baltimore native and proud graduate of Baltimore City Public Schools, my personal and professional journey is deeply rooted in the city that shaped me.

My early career as a labor organizer with SEIU and as a case manager to older adults in West Baltimore brought me face-to-face with inequity and sparked a lifelong commitment to social justice. Those experiences, paired with grassroots political organizing and campaign management, laid the groundwork for education equity work later in my career. 

In 2019,  I served as the Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for Teach For America–Baltimore, where I raised more than $1.5 million  in just one year to support teacher recruitment and development.

Over the last 5 years, I acted as the Director of Regional Impact for Maryland for LEE where I focused on building community capacity and supporting leaders of color and women to drive positive change. I built a strong fellowship program and recruited more than 20 LEE members to run for elected office—expanding and diversifying the landscape of leadership across the state.

My work, in all its forms, is grounded in a deep belief in community-driven leadership and the transformative power of people working together to impact the places they love.
