A nonprofit devotee, Rebecca has almost (she doesn’t want to age herself!) 20 years of experience working with organizations dedicated to youth and community development across the globe. From both sides of the SF Bay (shout out!), to rural East African villages, to islands of the South Pacific, and now her native San Diegan stomping ground, Rebecca has capitalized on her work in the field (to where her heart always returns) in order to create comprehensive, multi-faceted programs designed to address community-identified needs and solutions. Her education and clinical training include master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology and International Social Development, both of which have focused on cultivating meaningful partnerships across organizations and cultures. As FCDE’s first team member (in it for the long haul), Rebecca is inspired daily by the dedicated teams in Uganda who work tirelessly to impact sustainable change.

When not writing proposals, procedural guidelines, or technical training curricula, Rebecca serves on three Boards, supports the family business, and can be found embarking on mystical adventures with her daughter typically involving coastal sand, fairy dust, and much laughter.
