Tell us your story!
I stepped into my role as Director of Strategic Partnerships with the Better Business Bureau Greater Maryland in May 2025 with a relationship-first mindset and a deep appreciation for the ecosystem that supports businesses. After leaving a federal career, I was intentional about continuing in public service while also exploring entrepreneurship, and BBB offered a unique space to do both. Helping businesses not only show up in their communities, but also stand out through trust and credibility.
How has being a member of the Chamber benefited your business?
Being part of the Chamber has been incredibly valuable in strengthening our connection to the local business community. Through the Chamber, we’ve built meaningful relationships, gained insight into the evolving needs of Frederick businesses, and engaged in conversations that matter to the Frederick community.
For the BBB Greater Maryland, visibility and connectivity are essential. What makes the partnership especially impactful is how it complements our mission. While the Chamber creates space for businesses to connect, grow, and advocate, BBB helps those same businesses build and showcase trust with consumers through accreditation and accountability.

At the BBB Greater Maryland, we strive to be the trusted bridge between businesses and their communities grounded in our belief of “Trust, Built Locally.” We go beyond recognition to help businesses grow with integrate and give consumers confidence in their choices.

The community can support BBB Greater Maryland by choosing BBB Accredited Businesses, using our resources to leave reviews and report scams, and helping share what we do to strengthen trust in the marketplace.
