SVP, Inclusive Leadership | Strategic Philanthropy Advisor & Relationship Systems Coach
Aligning Values & Impact
As an advisor, executive leader, and Certified Relationship Systems Coach, my work centers on moving from reactive efforts toward strategic, trust-based, and systems-change approaches.
Whether guiding multi-generational family philanthropy, advising on donor-advised fund portfolios, or leading enterprise initiatives across 120+ corporate and institutional partners, I specialize in translating high-level vision into clear, results-driven strategy.
My expertise spans strategic grantmaking, executive and board facilitation, multi-stakeholder ecosystem alignment, and field and capacity building. I led pioneering empirical research studies on the charitable giving patterns of Houston women and Houston's Black donors. This broad experience and deep understanding of systems shapes everything I do and how I help individuals develop strategy and define impact.
A proud native Houstonian and fifth-generation Texan, I am honored to partner and co-create with leaders and changemakers in my hometown and across the country.
