Our Staff

I was born and raised in urban America and would have likely have succumbed to the streets, but for the role of schools in my life. Education provided my pathway to upward mobility. Upon returning to Chicago in 2003, I began providing educational pathways to others. Over the last two decades, I have designed, implemented, evaluated, and scaled educational programs. I believe that EC2C has a tremendous opportunity to create systematic change and improve the lives of all Evanston youth.

I have been working in social service for 25+ years. I have a strong commitment to community and equitable outcomes. I will be reaching out to ensure that EC2C's work is informed and co-lead by critical voices that are less often heard in our community. 

Working with a community has been a rewarding and powerful experience. By building strong relationships and leveraging the strengths of the community, we can achieve a greater impact.

I have experience bridging communities, connecting people and building partnerships. I am a passionate advocate for equitable access to resources. I received her Master of Public Administration from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. I specialize in collaborative governance and serving as a facilitator. 

As a Philly native, I’ve found a home away from home in Evanston. As a Humanities Fellow at Hampshire College, I worked on bringing Professors, staff, and students together to build stronger connections. I believe in that the first step to creating a more equable community is through education. As someone with a past teaching early childhood education, I believe ECE should be available to all families.
