How do I help clients live a richer life?
As a member of our Philanthropy Team, I support the three pillars of Impact at Brighton Jones: Philanthropic Advising, The Richer Life Foundation, and Corporate Philanthropy. I have a passion for relationship building and I am thrilled to mobilize my experience in the public sector to help catalyze meaningful, values-aligned strategic impact. It is a pleasure to witness our clients living a richer life when their passions are aligned with community need.

How do I spend my time outside of Brighton Jones?
It’s life’s simple pleasures that bring me joy! Chatting with my cousins over a cup of coffee, skiing a bluebird day at Chrystal, walking the bluff at Discovery, reading on a chilly fall day. I am forever grateful to call this beautiful place home. As a former nonprofit professional, I remain deeply connected to many inspiring non-profits in Washington State and across the country creating lasting change in their communities.
