My talent is bringing out the best in people, organizations, and places in ways that match their individual needs. 

I work to cultivate engaged and well-supported workforces that promote improved performance, retention, and inclusive cultures. As a talent development specialist and coach, I am committed to helping professionals drive their career growth with purpose and passion. I have worked in collaboration with a diverse array of companies, from local non-profits to global supply chains.  As a joint MDiv/MBA candidate, I hope to bring the spirit of service with an outlook to the whole person into this work.  

Additionally, I am a self-taught photographer. With the same methods I bring into an office, I aim to seek out and capture the beauty of the everyday spaces and faces I encounter. 

I dedicate significant time to volunteering in a variety of capacities including at church and in my local community. 

I am an also an active member of Swarthmore's Black Alumni Network and am a Co-Chair for the 10 year Reunion this year. Previously serving on the planning team and as a member of the Executive Committee, I lead efforts to fund summer internships for students. In both of these roles, I mentor young adults transitioning into their careers. 

As an alumni of the Princeton in Africa fellowship program, I create and facilitate development sessions for current fellows to reflect on and grow through their experiences abroad. I spearheaded the development of a formal mentorship program to match 50 fellows with alumni to provide personalized support. 

I recently finished my three year service on the Community Advisory Board for WHYY public radio in Philadelphia. 

Originally from Seattle, I love getting outdoors and spending time on the water be it swimming or sailing. I enjoy cooking for others, reading historical fiction, going to concerts, and watching crime TV (think Criminal Minds, not First 48).
