Leading with Compassion
I take your concepts to completion and beyond with data intelligence and human integrity.
My career began with community organizing and peer leadership.
BEYOND HARD SKILLS
I build programs that move ideas into action, and the systems that make those programs resilient for the future.
My work sits at the intersection of international development, climate education, and cross-sector partnership. For the past six years I have directed global initiatives, managed stakeholder networks spanning six continents, and designed the operational infrastructure that keeps distributed teams accountable and mission-aligned. This work spans international nonprofits, humanitarian organizations, a Y Combinator-backed technology company, and a grassroots climate campaign. My complex, cross-sector background means I bring both a deep commitment to social impact and a practical fluency in operational excellence that mission-driven organizations often struggle to find in the same person.
My background is genuinely interdisciplinary. I hold a Master of Science in International Development with a concentration in clean energy and sustainable infrastructure. My undergraduate research at Bard College, where I studied Visual Culture with a focus in Central Asian religious art and cultural history, trained me in the kind of careful, sustained thinking about how communities carry meaning across disruption that I bring into every program and partnership I design. I conducted field research in Tibet, Nepal, Iceland, and Peru. I am a published researcher, a practicing artist, a data systems builder, a community organizer, and a science communicator.
The throughline of my work is communities engaged in creating change.
Patience, grace, and understanding.
