I’m passionate about investing in today for a brighter tomorrow. For more than 30 years, I’ve volunteered in community initiatives, and that lifelong commitment to service has shaped both my identity and my career. I’ve seen how showing up, consistently and wholeheartedly, can strengthen families, organizations, and entire communities. Today, I work for a nonprofit school where I get to live out that passion every day. Whether I’m organizing fundraisers, creating family-friendly events, or building partnerships that expand opportunities, I’m driven by the belief that helping others creates lasting impact. I’m energized by being part of something bigger than myself; something that truly matters today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.

Movies, theater, food, and Motown. Design. Hosting salons and bringing together interesting and accomplished people. Getting behind the headlines and going where the action is. Building bridges between sworn enemies and across cultures. Land's End and Armani clothes.

Creativity and ideas that bring people together.

I have found success in my life (both personal and professional) comes from the ideas and inspiration I get from new and old connections. Understanding perspectives, how others work and how ideas can link to become greater than the sum of their parts.
