As Director of Strategic Partnerships at The Giving Grove, I build national partnerships that expand access to healthy, locally grown food through community-led orchard programs.
I came to sustainability after more than 15 years in marketing and event operations, where I developed a deep love for partnership building, brand storytelling, and bringing people together. After a post-pandemic pivot, I redirected those skills into mission-driven work focused on social and environmental impact.
Before The Giving Grove, I served as Director of Events at One Tree Planted, supporting global reforestation efforts. Earlier in my career, I spent over a decade with the St. Louis Cardinals and worked on national concert tours and hospitality marketing initiatives.
I earned my BA from Saint Louis University and my MBA from Webster University, both in St. Louis.
