nCino OpCo, Inc.
Senior Inclusion Community & Philanthropy Specialist
Strategic, solutions-oriented, and endlessly curious—I thrive at the intersection of planning, execution, and impact. With a strong foundation in cause marketing, strategic partnerships, and program development, I bring a big-picture mindset backed by the operational know-how to drive results.

I’m skilled in forecasting, budget ownership, and contract negotiations, and I have a track record of turning ideas into scalable, efficient programs that move the needle. Whether it’s building brand-aligned community initiatives, leading cross-functional teams, or negotiating partnerships that maximize value, I bring a thoughtful and agile approach to every challenge.

Known for my ability to see around corners and connect dots others might miss, I’m most energized when building something that didn't exist before and making sure it runs smoothly once it does.
