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 community 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. I design with people, not for them. My work is grounded in their lived realities: their constraints, incentives, context, and capacity. If it doesn’t work in their environment, it doesn’t work. 
   

• Actionable. I build learning experiences and practical tools that meet real-world needs and can be applied immediately, not theoretical frameworks that look good on paper.
   

• Structured but Flexible. I provide enough structure to create momentum while staying responsive to what's actually needed—going off-script when a conversation demands it, or building in flexibility so users can adapt insights to their specific needs and context.

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 iterate and improve the work.
   

• Projects where I have autonomy to take a north star idea and turn it into something tangible, or re-imagine an existing initiative to unlock its full potential.
   

• 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.​​
