A community leader for more than a decade, Hedi has been responsible for driving wide-scale expansion and growth within the non-profit arts and public safety sectors.

During her tenure at The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company, she helped usher in their Alumni program providing program participants access to industry careers and post-secondary opportunities and established their virtual peer to peer fundraiser that challenges supporters to raise funds while creating art. While at the California Fire Safe Council, Hedi doubled its staff, and brought in an eight-figure multi-million-dollar grant, while establishing its ArcGIS and geospatial data framework, and furthering its capacity building and communications efforts. Hedi’s early non-profit days included her role as Executive Director at the California Fire Foundation where she assisted families of fallen firefighters, firefighters and the communities they serve. There, she established and grew their individual and corporate giving programs bringing the organization to national prominence and spearheaded the SAVE program to assist families and individuals with immediate financial assistance in the face of disaster, raising close to $1M in support and pledges during the early stages of the program.

Hedi holds both her BA and MPA degrees from the University of Southern California and resides in New York City. When she is not working, she enjoys going to the theatre, specifically musicals, as well as spending time outdoors, and with family and her rescue dog Stewy.
