Membership Director

I’m a public policy and government affairs professional working coast to coast bringing people together around complicated issues and turning good ideas into action. Much of my work involves building coalitions among policymakers, business leaders, economic development organizations, and community stakeholders…so serving as Membership Chair is a natural fit.

I earned my degree in Political Science from CU Boulder and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Southern California, and I’ve worked across the nonprofit, private, and public sectors on issues spanning local, state, and federal policy. After years of advocating, I’m excited to put some of those skills to work for a cause that has become deeply personal. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2017, and going gluten-free genuinely felt like being reborn into a new body, finally shedding ailments that had plagued me since childhood and grown progressively worse as I got older. It’s been a long road, but I couldn’t be happier to help make life a little easier for Coloradans living gluten-free. I called Colorado home again in 2021 and live in the Denver metro area, where I love skiing, surfing (not in CO lol), OneWheeling, lifting weights, yoga, SUPing, canoeing, and fly-fishing. And, of course, celiac disease more or less forced me to learn how to cook like all the time, which for better or worse, I’ve come to love.
