Ever since I can remember I have had an affinity for maps, a sense of wanderlust, a curiosity to understand diverse cultures, a decisive process that takes on and resolve challenges for a positive impact, and a wanting to give back.
I have a unique background:
Seasoned retail executive with experience in a consumer centric, multi-channel, “best in class” Fortune 100 Company. Altruistic non-profit volunteer with extensive international travel and non-profit volunteerism experience where I have had positive sustainable impacts in the global community and developed cultural sensitivity.
