Small Budget. Big Turnaround.

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.
