Before taking the helm of the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga this January as its President and CEO, she served as a senior advisor to Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke where she acted as a member of the Mayor’s senior leadership team heading up community-focused initiatives to create sustainable partnerships and external investments to advance the economic, racial and social agenda of the administration – ultimately improving the quality of life for all residents.
