I am excited to help nonprofits find the capital they need so that they can excel in their work. I have spent almost all of my career working for organizations that advocate for economic justice, racial justice, and immigrants’ rights, or organizations that fund them. One of the critical obstacles in this work is gaining access to funding to push it forward. It is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to be a partner to these organizations in solving this problem and serving their communities.
