For most of my career, my work has centered on one thing: bringing people together to solve meaningful problems.

I’ve worked across nonprofits, Fortune 500 companies, government, public affairs, and public safety, often serving as the person behind the scenes who connects stakeholders, builds trust, and turns ideas into partnerships that can actually move forward.

In 2014, I launched HETTY GROUP to expand that work across sectors, with a focus on community engagement, social impact, and public safety partnerships. Over the years, that path has allowed me to collaborate with law enforcement agencies, civic leaders, corporations, nonprofits, startups, and national brands.

Most recently, I served as VP of Community & Strategic Initiatives for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, where I worked on public safety, stakeholder engagement, and preparing Hollywood for the LA28 Olympics.

That chapter also clarified something important for me. The work I’m most drawn to has always been about connection, not just between institutions, but between people.

Today, I’m building on that foundation in a new way as Co-Founder of PARALLEL Social Club, a social wellness company designed for adults who don’t have kids who want meaningful friendships, elevated experiences, and a stronger sense of community.

Across every chapter, the mission has remained consistent: build trust, create connection, and bring people together around something that matters.
