FOUNDER + CEO + DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMMING
I have spent my adult life in the service of women and community — through empowerment conferences that reached nearly 30,000 participants, through solar energy advocacy rooted in environmental justice, through entrepreneurship rooted in holistic self-care and wellness, and now through Indigo Heights.
“This is the most personal work I have ever done.”
I think about my daughters. My grandchildren. I think about what it means to have people in your corner when you’re young and finding your footing. Every resident who walks through our doors is someone’s daughter — and she deserves a real chance.
Indigo Heights is not a charity. It is a belief system made into a building — the belief that when we invest in young women with sincerity, structure, and love, they rise. Every time.
CFO + DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Programs built on good intentions don’t last. Programs built on sound strategy, strong fiscal stewardship, and genuine accountability do. That is the work I bring to Indigo Heights every single day.
For more than a decade, I have worked at the intersection of finance, operations, and community impact, helping organizations build systems that are both sustainable and mission-driven.
“Sustainability is how you honor the people you serve.”
My role is to ensure that every decision and every dollar entrusted to us is used with integrity, and that the systems we build are strong enough to outlast any grant cycle. These young women deserve consistency, stability, opportunity, and lasting support. That is the standard I work to uphold every single day, without compromise.
