I am drawn to the moments people gather: when a street becomes a stage, a story sparks connection, and an organization aligns around what truly matters. For more than twenty years, I’ve worked at the intersection of culture, identity, and strategy — activating space, shaping movements, and helping people and organizations clarify who they are, what they stand for, and how they show up in the world.

A lifelong learner and leader, I served on the Executive Team at Burning Man Project for more than a decade and helped launch the Western Lights Festival in 2025 — activating downtown Reno, elevating artists, and creating a vibrant social space where people from all walks of life come together to explore, create, and connect. Across my work, I build clarity, alignment, and momentum.

I hold an Executive Master’s in Cities from the London School of Economics, where my research focused on the role of arts and culture in driving equitable economic development. I also serve as a Trustee of Creative West and as a member of Reno’s Arts and Culture Advisory Board.

The honor of my lifetime is being mama to one husky and one joyful hellion named Huxley — roles that remind me daily that leadership, like parenting, is an act of presence.

At the core of my work is a simple belief: when people feel connected to place and to one another, they build stronger organizations and more imaginative futures.
