Community Economic Development
I served as Program Director of Urban Impact, Inc., a position focused on developing the internal capacity of the organization through program development and the development of organizational goodwill. A key initiative of note is BE BHM (www.bebhm.com), an ecosystem and capacity building program that pushes Birmingham to be its best self by equipping all of its entrepreneurs. I also serve as the Capital Access Manager for the Birmingham Metro region for Kiva, a microfinance initiative.
