For the past 6 years, I have run operations and business development for CIP Partners, Inc. and acted as outside general counsel for Sterling Merchandising.

During 2021 and 2022, I served on a special task force for the YMCA that worked closely with the Marin County Office of Education to establish and fund learning hubs throughout Marin for in-person support for the county’s most vulnerable youth during remote and hybrid learning. I previously served as Vice President of Family Giving for the Foundation for Reed Schools and was an active member of the PTA.
