My experience as a strategy leader in project and program management, government affairs, community relations, and development, implementation, and coordination of policies and procedures in the Pacific Northwest region has allowed me to lead communities in tackling some of the greatest challenges including the opioid epidemic, food security, equity and inclusion, and the affordable housing crisis.
