I am proud to serve as the President at Junior Achievement of Greater Cleveland! I was born and raised in Lake County and currently live in Mentor. I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a political science degree and also have a Master's in Higher Education Leadership from Capella University. I really enjoyed the JA experience as a student, then as a volunteer, and now am proud to lead our team in making a difference for young people in our community!

I am a strong believer in the philosophy of "Servant Leadership" and speak to professional and student groups about the importance of enriching the lives of individuals, building better organizations, and creating a more caring world through service. I try to make this concept the center of my personal life and the mantra for the team here at JAGC.

I enjoy playing different golf courses and serving as a volunteer coach with First Tee of Cleveland!

My favorite

Part of My Job: Watching our students and volunteers actively participate in our programs and learn from each other that's what it is all about!

Spots in Cleveland: On the links or cheering on one of our teams!
