Meet The Team


Director of Grants
(she/her)

As a born-and-raised Californian, I could never have imagined that I would end up living in Minnesota...but here I am: loving the Twin Cities, with no plans of leaving! Before taking a career break in 2018, I founded and directed an inter-generational creative arts program, where I managed: program and partner development, grant writing, strategic planning, vendor contracts, budgeting and finances, and participant and team needs. Though the program is currently on hiatus, I hope to one day re-imagine it locally.

With over 12 years of experience working in nonprofit management and community programming, I thoroughly enjoy helping leaders achieve their goals through grant writing and strategic planning.

about me

When I'm not reading books, painting, or building Magnatiles with my two young kids, I'm probably snuggling with my dog or winning at the game of Carcassonne against my husband.
