Provided strategic leadership for the Wholistic Innovation Network, advancing programs that connected youth and young adults with career exploration, skills training, and workforce opportunities. Built partnerships with businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations to expand access to STEM programs, including initiatives such as FIRST Robotics and the Exploring program. Focused on creating sustainable, community-driven workforce development pipelines that supported both local economic growth and the long-term success of participants.

Served in a key capacity supporting the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce’s mission to promote regional economic vitality. Managed business advocacy initiatives, coordinated community and stakeholder engagement, and developed programs to connect local businesses with resources, workforce development opportunities, and policy influence. During this period, contributed to membership growth, strengthened partnerships with municipalities and regional organizations, and advanced strategic projects that enhanced the Chamber’s role as a central hub for business support in the South King County area.

LM Consulting was engaged by the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce to strengthen its government affairs program and enhance its role as a voice for the local business community. Acting as the Chamber’s Government Affairs Representative, I worked closely with business leaders, elected officials, and regional partners to identify key legislative priorities, advocate for pro-business policies, and expand the Chamber’s influence in economic development conversations.

Key responsibilities included drafting and refining the Chamber’s annual legislative priorities, organizing a candidate forum, coordinating with local coalitions, and increasing engagement with regional economic initiatives. Through strategic outreach and consistent relationship-building, I helped position the Chamber as a trusted advocate and connector for businesses in Issaquah and the broader Eastside region.
