I help families dream big about the positive impact they can make in the world. I particularly enjoy working with the rising generation where philanthropy can be a great way to leverage passion for a cause, to learn life skills – reading financials, establishing relationships, strategic thinking, and finding their own voice. I joined Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd., because the firm mirrors my passions for stimulating and leading change in local communities and the world and provides a collaborative and dynamic team environment.
