A Bit About Me

 

I've always been drawn to the space between systems: Bringing business, civic, and nonprofit leaders together, connecting donors with communities, and helping translate values into strategy.


People who give

As Donor Engagement Director at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, I counseled high-net-worth donors, stewarded a $20M Donor-Advised Fund portfolio, and advised on grants for the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, the Youth Homelessness Fund, and the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee. 


I founded SeedSwell and Black Philanthropy Houston to increase everyday giving and support strategic philanthropy.


Those who guide resources

As Senior Vice President, Inclusive Leadership and Opportunity at the Greater Houston Partnership, I lead a first-of-its-kind initiative engaging 120 organizations across 11 industries, making Houston the first major U.S. metro to take a data-driven approach to measuring progress on inclusion.


I have advised collaborative funders, foundations, and designed content for professional advisors and next generation donors.


Organizations closest to the need

As Executive Director of The Women’s Resource of Greater Houston, I expanded programs by 130% during a major economic downturn. I have also helped national and statewide advocacy organizations build leadership and operational capacity. 


Houston proud

A native Houstonian and fifth-generation Texan, I am honored to partner and co-create with the leaders and changemakers shaping the city I love.
