Our Founder’s Story

Growing up in Tampa as the third of four children, life was always moving. I was that kid—curious, restless, and constantly daydreaming. A "Ritalin child" in the '80s, I found focus not in the classroom but in connection, creativity, and storytelling.

I was named after my grandfather, Ted—an educator, entrepreneur, and believer who reinvented himself from Tennessee schoolteacher to orange grove farmer to real estate developer. His biggest sale created generational impact, funding college for eight grandchildren—including me. His legacy shaped my values: resilience, generosity, and a passion for helping others grow.

After earning a degree in Communications, I began a career in advertising sales, earning top honors in my first year. Later, I pursued dual Master’s degrees in Theology and Business Administration, bringing both heart and strategy to my work. My journey has taken me from corporate boardrooms to nonprofit leadership, always with the same goal: help good people do great work.

Today, I lead Draper Consulting with a team of storytellers, designers, strategists, and creative professionals—united by a passion for equipping nonprofits to thrive.

Let’s make something meaningful together.
