Over the past 10 years, I've used professional and academic fellowships to live, study and work in places like New York City, Berlin, Washington DC, London and Wellington, New Zealand.

To pay-it-forward, I've co-founded ProFellow with my husband Ryan. Fellowships were difficult to find online, so we created ProFellow to make it easier to discover short-term, competitive, paid opportunities to do something exceptional. (Why should these gems stay a secret?) I enjoy speaking on fellowships and helping others find opportunities to fund their next big project. We also hold social dinners and events for current and former fellows to connect people who are working on exceptional projects, research and enterprises.

I'm an alumna of the Ian Axford Fellowship in Public Policy (2011), the Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship (2005), the German Chancellor Fellowship (2004) and the New York City Urban Fellows Program (2002).
