I am a Brooklyn-based Californian with over 13 years of experience in creative problem solving, business development, operations, and executive leadership with startup social ventures and innovative nonprofit organizations. I received my master’s degree in Strategic Design and Management from Parsons, and also hold a bachelors degree in Economics from Vassar College.

I care deeply about doing work that makes a meaningful social impact. Having worked in both nonprofit and for-profit organizations, I firmly believe that it’s possible to effect change wherever you are. What inspires me most about the practice of strategic design is its ability to unlock potential in individuals and groups — something I aim to do in all areas of my personal and professional work.

In my free time I can be found riding my bike somewhere impractical, dragging my family outside to play in the snow, lugging too many watermelons home from the farmers’ market, or taking advantage of any opportunity I can to see live music.
