“I am elated to take on the role as Executive Director at Head for the Cure. What drew me to this organization from the start — and continues to inspire me every single day — is the incredible strength and compassion of the brain tumor community. It’s a privilege to lead a grassroots fundraising movement that not only raises critical awareness and funding for brain cancer research but also uplifts and unites those impacted by this disease.
As I step into this new chapter, I’m filled with gratitude for the opportunity to build on the foundation of passionate leadership and to walk alongside a dedicated team, resilient survivors, loving families, and tireless supporters. To everyone who has supported me on this journey, thank you. I look forward to what we’ll accomplish together — in honor of those we’ve lost, in support of those still fighting, and in hope for a cure. Let’s defeat brain cancer step by step!”
