I want to live and work in a community where people are prosperous. Healthy, wealthy, and happy people prosper. In my studies, travels, and work I have come to know and understand how impact focused businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs have helped create prosperous communities. It is my passion to see a prosperous Alaska fueled by entrepreneurs and nonprofits committed to equity and social responsibility. I use my knowledge, and experience in financial analysis, strategy, and governance to support nonprofits, small businesses, and social entrepreneurs achieve their vision. I am a certified co-op developer. I champion the use of worker owned cooperative enterprise models for small business startups and exits because of their potential to build community wealth.
