@MsHallieMiller @ChristinaTkacik She was an incredibly brilliant, kind, and bright soul. I was always so inspired by her analytical yet thoughtful approach to ecosystem building across any industry and developing ways to make ecosystems more connected and accessible. What a heartbreaking loss for Baltimore.
