I am a mission-driven executive and trusted board leader with over two decades of experience navigating the complexities of government affairs, public policy, and institutional governance. My career has been defined by leading public and nonprofit organizations through transformation, crisis, and high-impact strategic change. As a Trustee for the University of Oregon, I served on the Academic & Student Affairs Committee, advising senior leadership on key academic and equity priorities. As Board Chair of Meyer Memorial Trust, I guided the organization through an unprecedented convergence of crises—from the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice uprisings to climate-driven wildfires.
