In 2003, my brother Bennett passed away from colon cancer and an inoperable brain tumor at the age of 10. My mission since then has been to help other families during the different parts of their journey.
I have been married for 13 years and have two kids who love being involved in everything we do. I love that they get to see firsthand the impact of helping others.
Ben is looking down proudly that his legacy is still supporting others.
I am a life-long St. Louisan and have been involved in community service in one way or another for as long as I can remember. I am a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and currently work in Finance at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
My inspiration for joining The Bennett Project board is my nephew, Drew, who was diagnosed in September of 2019 at 6 ½ years old with a malignant brain tumor. As our family’s lives turned upside down, I looked for a way to help others experiencing the same unimaginable situation. After over 6 years of fighting five separate times, Drew passed peacefully at home on January 1, 2026. We miss him terribly but are working hard to continue his legacy of kindness.
I am a St. Louis native raised in a blended family by two high school teachers. I learned at a young age the significant impact my actions can have on others lives through my parents dedicated involvement with their students. This inspired a passion for being connected and in service to others. I have always enjoyed being a social butterfly and helping when I can!
I am the youngest child of 4, and one of my favorite childhood memories was visiting Disney. It was there I found my love for hotels and travel. In high school, I started working at a hotel, knowing this was my career path. After 13 years of working at a hotel in Clayton, I joined IHG Corporate where my current role is a Commercial Strategist in Hotel Revenue Management.
I am a proud mother of 3 kids, and I have been married for 11 years. After our own family struggles with juvenile autoimmune disease and a very scary automobile accident, I would do anything to help a family in need! I was brought to TBP during COVID while my boys were looking for service hours. We began working on the Toy Drive in 2020. My involvement and commitment to help TBP families grew with each opportunity I had to see the impact we can make for our families!
