Board President SecretaryChristina Grieves
Occupation: Relationship Manager in Asset Management. Outside of work I love to travel, my bucket list gets longer with every trip taken! While at home I enjoy painting and my very active book club. My favorite VU events are clean-ups when the local neighborhood joins in to plant trees or pick up trash.
Dallas Jordan
Director of MarketingOccupation: Realtor on the Atwood Team, specializing in the Baltimore-metro area. I focus on welcoming those relocating to our community and helping local homeowners successfully navigate the selling process.
Outside of work, I love to travel, spend time with my nephews, and volunteer. My favorite VU event is Blanket Making with Kennedy Krieger, because it’s a creative event and supports a great organization!
Occupation: Digital Marketing Manager at the International Dyslexia Association, a nonprofit organization working to create a future where everyone can read by providing advocacy, resources, and services. Outside of work, I spend time volunteering, reading, and cuddling with my rescue dog. My favorite VU event is blanket-making for Kennedy Krieger Institute because it's a fun, inclusive event that benefits a great organization.

Co Director of EventsJillian Alm
Occupation: Electrical engineer, and I work primarily on biomedical and healthcare adjacent hardware design. My hobbies include cramming one too many activity into a weekend and trying to convince my friends to play board games with me.
My favorite VU events are the ones where we get to do some sort of weird physical labor that's unusual for city living, like demolishing a wall or removing invasive species while wearing waders in the harbor.
