17+ years stewarding mission-driven organizations and public sector agencies through contract cycles, platform transitions, and periods of change — with steady leadership and trusted relationships at the center of it all.

"I build trust in environments where continuity, judgment, and thoughtful execution aren't optional."

My career has been built at the intersection of people, systems, and high-stakes digital platforms. I've served as the program and relationship lead across long-term federal engagements — including almost a decade supporting whitehouse.gov across multiple administrations — while also building up internal operations, HR infrastructure, and the organizational systems that keep growing teams running strong. I bring the same steadiness in every engagement: clear-eyed, low-drama, and focused on what actually matters and moves things forward.
