“My career ‘grew up’ at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. For 16 years, I had the enormous privilege to collaborate with and learn from some of the very best as we advanced St. Jude’s noble mission. Thank you, St. Jude, friends and colleagues, for giving me the space and grace to become a better leader as I now embark on my next journey.

I am thrilled to announce I’ve started a new role with Shelby County Government. As Director of Innovation and Strategic Communications in Mayor Lee Harris’s Office, I am eager to team up with our elected officials, staff, and constituents to identify and implement innovative solutions for Our Next Era to benefit citizens of Shelby County.”
