I joined the Switch Automation leadership team in March 2019. As the Vice President of Operations, I oversee all US operations daily and report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. I also lead strategic planning for the business and help ensure profitability. Before joining Switch Automation, I worked at U.S. Green Building Council as the Mountain Region Director. I managed a team, executed large scale events, and created a regional growth strategy across an eight state region. Prior to this role, I served as the USGBC Colorado executive director. I consider Denver, Colorado, home but grew up mostly in Central Pennsylvania. I travel regularly to connect with friends, family and market leaders.

Most recently, I completed a professional certificate program at University of Colorado Boulder in Sustainability Management.
