ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LEADER DRIVING SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH & REGIONAL IMPACT
I am an economic development professional with over a decade of experience leading programs that support small business growth, capital access, and job creation. Through my work with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network, I have managed federally funded initiatives, built strategic partnerships, and helped strengthen regional economies across Southern California.
I’m now focused on expanding that impact at the municipal level by supporting cities in fostering business growth, retention, and long-term economic vitality.
