Projects & Ventures
Across every chapter of my career, I’ve led high-impact initiatives and built mission-driven ventures that blend strategy, heart, and sustainable results. From launching purpose-led businesses to scaling nonprofit programs, I bring a people-first approach to leadership, growth, and systems that work.
What I am up to ⇊
At Saving Innocence, where I serve as Senior Director (COO), I’ve helped lead the organization through a transformational season, navigating leadership transitions and workforce restructuring while ensuring stability and growth. I manage the organization's day-to-day operations, overseeing strategic planning, cross-departmental collaboration, program development, human resources, compliance, marketing, and external partnerships. I am privileged to lead a dedicated, mission-driven team that ensures our work is carried out with excellence, consistency, and long-term sustainability.
Pure Coast Naturals is a zero-waste, toxin-free product line I co-founded with my husband to create healthier, more sustainable options for our family, that we now share with others who value intentional living. We keep the business small-batch, hands-on, and low-waste, selling through select pop-up markets and our online store. What began as a creative outlet has become a purpose-driven brand rooted in sustainability, community, and mindful choices for everyday life.
Ilumina Partners is a boutique consulting practice I founded to support mission-driven organizations, coalitions, and anti-human trafficking teams in building sustainable impact. I serve as lead strategist and fractional COO, helping teams navigate complex change, streamline operations, and align strategy with mission. I’ve helped clients secure millions in funding, scale operations, and build healthier, more effective teams. As part of this work, I also serve as Secretary on the board of Project Suma, a Bolivian organization committed to supporting survivors of exploitation and advancing gender justice.
Wrking Moms is a community I created to support and uplift working mothers navigating the beautiful chaos of career and family life. Through honest conversations, simple tools, and encouraging content, I built a small but powerful network of purpose-driven women committed to thriving, not just surviving. As a content creator, I used this space to share reflections, resources, and real-life encouragement for women balancing leadership and motherhood. While the project is currently paused, it continues to reflect my passion for helping women lead with grace, grit, and authenticity in every season of life.
What Ties These Projects Together?
Whether I’m building out a nonprofit operations team, developing programs that serve vulnerable communities, creating content that empowers and equips others, guiding a consulting client through strategic growth, or creating toxin-free products with my family, every project I pursue is grounded in the same values: justice, sustainability, and practical impact. My work lives at the intersection of heart, systems, and strategy, which drives results that last.
