I'm Becky.

My professional life has been lived at the intersection of creative communications, human resources, and nonprofits. Across those disciplines I’ve honed skills in employee experience, adult education, persuasive storytelling, strategic communications, and community engagement. And at every turn, I’ve used those skills to create momentum toward positive change — in my city, state, and within companies.

I’m an adjunct professor of storytelling and communications at Arizona State University within their School of Sustainability, where I teach post-graduate students the fundamentals of effective communication, in the context of effecting change.

I lead The Giving Foundation. A nonprofit that supports neighbors in financial crises through The Giving Wall, other small nonprofits through The Giving Workplace, where I consult on topics of employee experience, and the community through a monthly forum known as Many Hands.

I’m also an Elected Director for the Henricopolis Soil & Water Conservation District in Henrico, Virginia, where I make progress toward a vision of intergenerational, inclusive wellbeing.
