I am a Director with YPTC. I first joined YPTC in 2011 as an Associate and then made the switch in 2014 to lead YPTC’s sales activities until 2017, when I left to become CEO of a local Boys & Girls Club, a youth development nonprofit. I returned to YPTC in 2023 and assumed my current position. I have had the opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives through the nonprofits I support. I have over 30 years of accounting and finance experience including 20 years of leading nonprofit organizations as the CEO or CFO. My passion is seeing nonprofits succeed with strong financial management practices so they can strategically continue to impact those they serve.
