She is inspired by ESEs’ transformative impact on individuals, families, and communities and is excited to be part of a mission-driven organization like REDF that empowers and champions these businesses and leaders.

In her free time, you can find her traveling, enjoying a good meal (that she doesn’t have to cook), staying up watching movies/shows, or spending time with loved ones – especially animals.
