I’m a strategist with a leader’s heart
Design is a team sport. My approach is people-powered, collaborative and brings the power of story alongside data and evidence.
A seasoned Head of Digital Impact with 16 years of experience, my portfolio spans digital products, services and stories across more than 24 National and community-based campaigns. A three-time co-founder and team builder within large, cross-functional organizations, excels in fostering teamwork and collaboration—essential elements for driving momentum and navigating complexity. Experience includes 12 years leading projects and 8 years as a people leader and direct-line supervisor.
Based in Bentonville, Arkansas, I’m also a co-founder of the Rampy MS Research Foundation nonprofit and continue on its board 13-years later. We take a community-powered approach to funding a cure for multiple sclerosis. Trifest for MS is our marquee event and was named one of the Nation’s Top 5 triathlons by Triathlete magazine. When I’m not strategizing for change, you’ll find my family and I having backyard adventures with the people and places we love.
