At the Trust
I oversee and coordinate the program team as we work to improve the health and quality of life for residents with low incomes, communities of color, and groups that have been marginalized. As a long-time resident of North Carolina, I care deeply about improving underserved areas of our state.
I Work On
My Proudest Accomplishment
There is nothing more satisfying than helping a small group coalesce around an exciting idea and then seeing that seed sprout into a broad-based initiative for community improvement. During my time at the Trust, I’ve played a part in nurturing this process in places like Bertie, Beaufort, Hyde, and Columbus counties.

When the Day is Done
When I’m not reading, I’m usually running, either for exercise or to drop my children off at various activities. I also serve on the board for North Carolina AIDS Action Network.
