You already care.
Let's find out about what.
The most meaningful giving doesn't happen on a whim — it grows from understanding yourself, your community, and the connections between the two. I've spent years inside philanthropy and supporting nonprofits because I deeply believe that cultivating curiosity builds deep conviction.
My approach is a guided, place-based strategy that doesn't just respond to the most significant challenges, but helps reimagine them as the foundation of a thriving future. Through thoughtful, structured conversations and experiential engagements, together we’ll intentionally translate your instincts and values into a giving philosophy. Leveraging the full spectrum of my expertise, I’ll then illuminate the places that align best with your strategy through transparent planning, honest insight, and a straightforward approach that respects both your intentions and your time.
You don't need to have all the answers before you begin. You just need to be curious. Let’s discover your direction together.

Why Meridian?
A meridian represents a peak or zenith in an experience. It is also the current name of my high school—where I first developed my passion for giving back in my local community—from selling candy to support expectant mothers to providing afterschool care for kids while their parents were at work. But the school wasn’t always called Meridian, it used to be named after a slave-holding founding father—illustrating the complexity of social change.
