I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of leaders, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in their roles. In addition to my leadership experience, I offer consulting services that encompass strategic planning, program evaluation, and community engagement, empowering non-profits to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
