After nearly a decade working across youth and sport ecosystems, I founded Paleza - a merchandise and fundraising platform built to direct resources into girls' and women's sports. Through every purchase and fundraising campaign, supporters buy merchandise they love while collectively reinvesting in the programs and athletes they show up for.
My experiences and MSW training shape how I think about all of it — empowerment, systems change, community ownership, and meeting people where they are. Celebrating one year in June 2026, we're looking forward to building alongside the growth of leagues and exciting mega events to create more access and opportunity for girls and women across the U.S.!
