Grand Council

My path in Pi Beta Phi has been an evolution and I have always been involved since serving as Chapter President and Traveling Graduate Consultant. Following years of local alumnae service, my professional skillset in finance and fundraising took me to the Pi Beta Phi Foundation Board.

After proudly serving as Chair of the Gatlinburg Study Committee, my finance and business background led me to the Fraternity Housing Corporation Board. I strive to be transparent, maintain a growth mindset and lead with confidence. Pi Phi is constantly evolving as we interact with the changing collegiate landscape and the world around us and I am passionate about the Fraternity’s well-being and our evolution into the future. With Grand Council and other capable volunteers and staff, our individual commitment and collective effort will ensure continual growth and progress to advance this organization and ensure the sisterhood for generations to come.

Every day, I am grateful for the leadership opportunities and friendships that Pi Beta Phi has provided to me. I am inspired to work alongside the numerous women who are passionate and dedicated to this membership organization.
