Hello friends!
I am very excited to be serving NCPMA as your Executive Director. I graduated from East Carolina University with a BS degree in Communications and Creative Writing. Following graduation, I began my professional career at FirstPoint Management Resources, where I stayed for 14 years. I held many titles and roles during my time at FPMR honing my skills in communication, event planning and organizational design. I had the honor of managing and working with several professional associations and societies such as NC Licensed Home Inspectors Association, Multi-Housing Laundry Association, Society of Invasive Cardiovascular professionals, NC Board of Podiatry Examiners and NC Land Title Association.
In 2014, I transitioned to corporate HR with RAI Services Company. There I gained valuable experiences and held various positions within Human Resources, including roles in Talent Development, Talent Management, and ultimately served as Lead Manager for Talent & Organizational Effectiveness.
I rejoined FPMR as a Senior Account Manager in May 2024 and am really enjoying being back in the association world. I have an enthusiasm for fostering relationships, designing impactful campaigns, and translating concepts into actionable initiatives. I have a strong foundation in communication, engagement, organizational efficiency, and event planning. I excel in roles where these proficiencies can be harnessed to drive favorable results and enrich the experiences of both members and stakeholders.
Personally, I am parent person for my three nephews, Isaac (20), Jacob (17), and Sam (16). Most of my free time is spent supporting them in their various interests. You’ll find me at a football game on Friday nights! I’m passionate about my friends and family and love cooking and baking and have been known to throw a great party! I love going for walks and doing yoga and the beach is my favorite vacation spot.
I’m a huge Organ Donation Awareness Advocate! In 2017 my nephew received a kidney transplant, and I was able to orchestrate a highly successful fundraising event to support organ donation initiatives, inspired by his experience.
I am excited and ready to work with NCPMA to strengthen the organization and help you all meet and exceed your goals!
