Combining a passion for creative placemaking & effective park system management
Building High-Performing Park Systems
I bring more than 17 years of experience leading complex park systems with a focus on placemaking, operational performance, and long-term community impact. I believe parks are not simply amenities—they are essential civic infrastructure that shape identity, support economic vitality, and strengthen public life. My leadership style is human-centered and collaborative, building high-performing teams while engaging residents in meaningful ways. With a strong foundation in budgeting, capital planning, enterprise operations, and implementation-driven strategy, I pair disciplined management with a deep commitment to creating parks and recreation systems that are welcoming, resilient, and built to serve growing communities.
