I inherited a neighborhood nonprofit with an empty bank account and big ambitions. As Executive Director of The Milk District, I grew the organization sixfold, strengthened board governance, built an accessible membership model, and leveraged municipal funding and partnerships to expand our impact. When COVID-19 threatened neighborhood businesses, we mobilized more than $40,000 in economic activity through Milk Money and helped build a remarkably resilient local business community.

A century of storytelling became a platform for the future. As Senior Director of Marketing at Orlando Family Stage, I led the strategic positioning of its Centennial, connecting artistic programming, philanthropy, partnerships, and community engagement through a shared narrative that celebrated the organization's legacy while building momentum for its next hundred years.
