I have been honored to be involved with SYTA for more than 10 years and have had the privilege of serving on numerous committees throughout that time. In 2025, I was especially proud to serve as Annual Conference Chairman, an experience that reinforced the strength and collaboration of the SYTA community — and left me with a lifelong love for Savannah, GA. SYTA has had a meaningful impact on both my professional growth and the organizations I’ve represented throughout my career. I am deeply grateful for the relationships and opportunities this community continues to provide.

I believe SYTA has a significant opportunity to further support members through stronger collaboration, smarter engagement strategies, and more data-informed decision-making. I am passionate about leveraging AI, research, and industry knowledge to uncover new relationship and business growth opportunities while strengthening SYTA’s value for associate members and supporting the operational realities of our active members.
