Helping others energizes me both personally and professionally.
I’ve been drawn to a number of mission-driven organizations where there
is a genuine connection to the greater good.
Built oregon – amplifying and accelerating oregon’s consumer product companies and eco-system
As a founding Board member of Built Oregon, we provide a platform for community leaders, entrepreneurs, storytellers, investors, mentors, and organizers who believe that the support an growth of Oregon’s consumer product industries will create sustainable, inclusive, and innovative job growth. We see the power in “owning our backyard” from an industry standpoint.
Girls, Inc. – inspiring all girls to be strong, bold, and smart.
As a mom of a teen daughter, Girls Inc. has tugged at my heart with their researched-based informal education programs that encourage girls to take risks and master physical, intellectual and emotional challenges. I’ve had the privilege to serve on the board of directors and lead on the marketing committee to advance fundraising – and ultimately fuel programs that help lift girls’ upward and onward.
Ecotrust– Ecotrust’s role is to innovate, invest, and inspire in ways that create well-being for people and the places they live
Committee volunteer for opening of The Redd Project.
Pacific NW College of Art – Believing in the power of art and creativity to transform lives
Pacific Northwest College of Art is the oldest independent college of art in the Pacific Northwest and the only fine art school in Portland. As a fellow thinker and maker, I’ve been able to share my love of art and business acumen with PNCA as a board member, and as a member of the steering committees for Marketing and Fundraising events..
Meals on Wheels– No senior will go hungry or experience social isolation
Both Ecotrust and Meals on Wheels are vital organizations that focus on food as sustenance – fundamental to the good health of our community. It is important to keep the primary purpose for food top of mind and give back to help people who are nutritionally at-risk.
