My background in nonprofits gives me a practical, boots-on-the-ground take on change. I drive orgs toward stronger alignment & more reliable success by constantly asking after their "why."
My best work is undergirded by rich qualitative and quantitative data. Research efforts I lead are efficient, focused by their own "why": what will we change when we know? Â
Behind every product is people. My approach emphasizes earned trust, curiosity, and appreciating stakeholders' unique contributions. I thrive in collaborative, challenging work environments.
I started my career in social services chasing a love of people, our big dreams, and the stories we tell pursuing them.
In the decade since, I've brought energy & leadership to dreams as varied as legacy nonprofits, grassroots community orgs, early education, university administration, social enterprises, and corporate good initiatives.
Products of the 21st century will be judged by whether they help us be the best of ourselves. I'm inspired by smart people driven to create bolder possibilities for users' everyday lives.
