Civic Leadership: Former board member of the Commercial Park Advisory Board in Chicago, where I helped secure a $300K donation for park improvements, led community events, and supported inclusive programming.

Local Engagement: Active in the Saugatuck community through volunteer work with the school system and as a cast and board member of the annual Christmas Carol production.

Professional Experience: Marketing Business Partner at Sheppard Moscow, an international leadership development consultancy. I bring experience in program management, business development, and storytelling—shaped by deep exposure to leadership development practices such as vertical development, influencing, and team effectiveness.

Statement of Qualifications I’ve always been drawn to opportunities that allow me to contribute meaningfully to the communities I’m part of—whether through volunteer work, creative collaboration, or civic leadership. In all of my endeavors, I bring forward the experience I’ve gained from my professional life, which includes a strong background in business development, project management, and marketing. Below are three areas I believe make me a strong candidate for consideration: 1. Relevant Civic Experience Before moving to Saugatuck full-time, I served on the Commercial Park Advisory Board in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. During my tenure, I held the roles of Secretary and Treasurer—at one point, both simultaneously. Highlights from that time include: •

Securing a $300K Donation: As a Board we worked with Fifield, a developer, the City of Chicago, and the local Alderman over the course of more than a year to secure a $300,000 donation for park and fieldhouse upgrades, as well as improved pathway access. This complex effort involved navigating competing interests and priorities, and it was a testament to the leadership, collaboration, and persistence of our Board that we were able to secure the funds.

New Playground: As a member of the Board we worked with the City, Park District and the playground equipment manufacturer to establish a new, accessible playground – upgrading to safer ground material, more accessible and modern play structures. This involved creating awareness in the community and seeking their input and fund raising. This helped me to be aware of different perspectives and viewpoints, and the work needed to bring people together in support of a cause.

Hosting the Midnight Circus: Our Board successfully brought this citywide fundraising event to our park—an honor that required strong project and resource management, coordination with city departments and volunteers, and a commitment to creating a joyful, inclusive experience for the community.

Community Events and Programs: We organized an annual Halloween parade and party, providing costumes and a safe, welcoming space for children and families. We also supported initiatives like reading hour and a pollinator garden—efforts that helped build a more connected and vibrant neighborhood.

2. Local Engagement in Saugatuck Since moving to Saugatuck, I’ve continued to stay involved in community life. I’ve volunteered through the local school system and have been an active participant in the beloved Christmas Carol production—as both a cast member and a board member. Most recently, our board formalized a partnership with Christian Neighbors. As has been the practice all proceeds from the play are donated to support local needs. The formation of the board creates the scaffolding for a proper legacy so it can persist in vision to delight and aid the community. This is another example of how I seek out opportunities to contribute meaningfully and sustainably to the place I call home. 3. Professional Experience in Leadership Development I currently work at Sheppard Moscow, an international leadership development consultancy. I’ve program managed and aided in design of large-scale leadership development programs for global clients such as the World Bank Group, Ford, Lear, Ericsson, Bayer and Vodafone. I currently serve as the Marketing Business Partner, helping shape how our firm communicates its work and values. Whether managing projects, developing content, or collaborating with teams, I bring a strategic, people-centered approach to everything I do—always with an eye toward clarity, impact, and connection.

I collaborate with colleagues and our partners to translate our collective expertise into marketing that’s clear, compelling, and storyful.
