Brings to Board

Financial reporting, budgeting and analysis, cash management, a desire to help others.


Hopes for a Board Seat

I am fairly new to the Madison area and wanted to find a way to give back to this new community that I now call home. I've been actively involved in many non-profits via volunteering, and now at this point in my life and career I think its time to use my skills to do more.
