My goal through both work and volunteerism is to coordinate projects that help organizations and people working to solve real world problems.

PROFESSIONAL
Since 2007, my work lens has been geared towards strategic development programs within the IEEE organization including activities such as:

  • engineering-driven technology entrepreneurship ecosystems as a method to create nimble, scalable and sustainable solutions
    startup.ieee.org
  • technology ethics and related concerns at the confluence of technology and social-sciences
    techethics.ieee.org
  • diversity, equity, and inclusion within engineering communities ieee.org/about/diversity-index
  • connecting climate change and clean-tech technologists within engineering-driven communities
    climate-change.ieee.org

PERSONAL
Since 2020, my volunteerism has shifted. In the previous decade I was engaged in roles that directly supported the association and non-profit management world.

I've returned to my initial career roots of local community building and political activism. In 2023, I was elected to the municipal democratic organization for my home town and additionally accepted an appointment of Chair for the LGBTQIA+ Community Caucus of our county-wide democratic organization.
