Heidi has a generosity of spirit, deep empathy, and willingness to "say the hard things that people need to hear" both on her team and in the wider world. She was selected for this honor from Reloveution because she is a fierce advocate for equity, a champion for positive youth development, a master connector, and a strategic, passionate, and hilarious human being. 

Heidi believes that being a Reloveutionary leader means showing up with authenticity and belief in humanity and being guided by curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to core values.

I’m fueled by intellectual horsepower, strategic agility, and an unwavering commitment to humanity. Those top traits, along with my empathic tendencies allow me to full picture and the weeds of complex projects and situations, quickly and thoroughly making connections between ideas and among people to find opportunities and solutions for deeper impact. I believe the problems we encounter are endless, but so are the possibilities and that dreams can come true. I believe true reloveutionary leaders are perpetually evolving, and I continue to be a work in progress.
