About

I’m a child welfare and family policy professional with 9 years of experience improving systems, supporting program implementation, and working alongside stakeholders to strengthen outcomes for children and families. I translate research and data into practical, family-centered approaches—whether that’s through policy research, public-facing communication, or continuous quality improvement across teams.

Across my roles in government and nonprofit settings, I’ve led initiatives that connect families to resources and improve how agencies respond to real-world needs. From creating court support and navigation programs that reduce time to resolution and out-of-home placement to developing policy-focused content and coordinating grant deliverables, I’m passionate about building solutions that are grounded in evidence and delivered with care.
