With a career spanning corporate leadership and community impact, she’s known for bringing energy to every room and turning complex ideas into actionable plans. When she’s not leading teams or launching bold initiatives, you’ll find her leading a group of Girl Scouts, cheering on her children in one of their sports, cheering for a favorite college team, or planning their next family vacation. She believes business should be personal—and that the best work starts with heart.
