REV is a nonprofit organization, so I raise money to help make our work possible! I also work with the REV team to develop programs related to business growth and economic development and provide program oversight to make sure we’re meeting our goals. I love getting to talk about REV’s programs and impact with Birmingham Yaysayers!

> What was your favorite book as a child?

From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Some days I still wish I could run away and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

> What’s your favorite pizza in Birmingham?

My family spent a year eating and reviewing pizza places in Birmingham, so I have strong opinions about pizza! My favorites are the Hot Honey Jalapeño or the Flyin’ Hawaiian from Iron City Pizza Company (don’t forget the Cheesy Garlic Focaccia) and any pizza with garlic ricotta from Trattoria ZaZa.
