ABOUT ME

I’m an impact-driven leader with more than 15 years of experience in investor relations, social impact strategy, and community development. In my role as Vice President at Self-Help Credit Union and Self-Help Federal Credit Union, I oversee a $2.5 billion deposit portfolio, mobilize mission-aligned capital, and lead national investor engagement.

At the Center for Community Self-Help, I’ve directed investor relations efforts that have generated over $300 million in deposits and investments, managed partnerships with socially responsible investment firms totaling $65 million, and stewarded more than 1,300 investor accounts. I also have the privilege of leading a talented team of business development professionals while designing national outreach and marketing strategies that connect capital with communities historically excluded from economic opportunity.

My career portfolio bridges finance, marketing, and wellness. Before joining Self-Help, I served as a marketing leader at Bioventus/Bioness, launched ESG-aligned marketing frameworks with Two Dots Studio, and built community health programs as Assistant Director of Health & Wellness at Lenox Hill Neighborhood House. These diverse experiences reflect my commitment to aligning capital, creativity, and community for social good.

I earned my M.S. in Social Entrepreneurship and Graduate Certificate in Marketing from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, and a B.A. in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Writing from New School University.

Community leadership is central to who I am. I currently serve on the Steering Committee of the Asset Funders Network (Carolinas), and I’ve held board and advisory roles with organizations such as Girls Build LA and Camille A. Brown & Dancers. I also love giving my time to Girls on the Run and Junior League chapters nationwide.

At the heart of my work, I’m passionate about building comprehensive systems, translating complex ideas into clear and human-centered strategies, and bringing energy, collaboration, and vision to every partnership I lead.
