I began my nonprofit career with direct service in sustainable urban gardening situated in food deserts, in addition to the distribution of resources for both migrants traveling across the Arizona-US border and recently arrived individuals in New York City. Taking on more leadership-oriented roles in the impact sector since has been an exciting and fulfilling journey.

My enthusiasm, problem-solving, and desire to drive positive change — whether within my local communities or on the global stage — are just a few reasons my personal attitudes and values are aligned with Black Fox Global’s mission. 

I love being outdoors, whether that means visiting sculpture gardens, biking along the river, exploring local trails, or hammocking. I am most in my element when I am engrossed in a book, singing in the car, or competitive rock climbing!
