I love using the power of storytelling to bring diverse groups of people together around a collective goal through shared values, shared experiences, or even shared suffering. Over the last 16 years, I’ve harnessed the power of storytelling to lift up stories from underrepresented communities, focusing on women, people of color, and those who identify as LGBTQ. Prior to joining the Metro Caring team, I worked on LGBTQ issues and progressive campaigns in Colorado and across the country since 2004, concentrating on passing policies and legislation in and with communities that are disproportionately impacted by systematic inequalities. Attending college in Ohio, I hold an MBA from Lourdes University in Sustainable Business Development with a focus on triple bottom line economics. Outside of work, you can find me kayaking, traveling to experience new places, soaking in a hot spring, dancing the night away, or cooking and enjoying a good meal with family and friends.
