From working at a contemporary art gallery in Hollywood, to designing international cybersecurity conferences, my path can seem unusual to an outside observer. As a multi-potentialite, I am often a translator between worlds—bridging technical and creative conversations, thinking in systems, and rapidly adapting to shifting contexts.​

 

Over the past decade, I've built a practice as an award-winning capacity builder, learning experience designer, and strategist. I specialize in standing up new initiatives, building resilient networks of diverse stakeholders, and translating complex ideas into clear, actionable strategies—most recently at the intersection of data, design, and the public good.

 

Currently, I'm the Director of Training & Technical Assistance at Georgetown University's Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, where I'm scaling our capacity-building efforts into an organization-wide strategy with replicable frameworks and tools.

My Approach

​​

• User-Centered. My work is grounded in the lived realities and context of the people I work with: their needs, constraints, incentives, and environmental dynamics. 
   

• Actionable. I build things that address real-world needs and can be used right away, not theoretical frameworks that look good on paper.
   

• Structured but Flexible. I bring enough structure to move things forward, while staying responsive to what emerges: going off-script when a conversation demands it, or strategically pivoting when the work calls for something different.

Where I Do My Best Work​

​

• Environments that are mission-driven, collaborative, and intellectually rigorous—where creative problem-solving is encouraged and challenges are seen as opportunities to learn, iterate, and improve the work.
   

• People with diverse skills and perspectives who are committed to excellence, trust each other to deliver, and value sustainable work practices that honor our lives, identities, and responsibilities beyond work.​​
   

• Projects tackling real problems facing society—with room to experiment, build something new, or reimagine what already exists.
