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

PROFESSIONAL FOCUS
In recent years, my work lens has been geared towards strategic business development within IEEE, the world's largest professional society for technologists, including the following focus areas:

• 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
• connecting climate change and clean-tech technologists within engineering-driven communities
  climate-change.ieee.org
• diversity, equity, and inclusion within engineering communities ieee.org/about/diversity-index
• revamping IEEE's e-commerce site for technical society and council items beyond the scope of peer-review journals and proceedings

VOLUNTEERISM
I've recently returned to my initial career roots of local community organizing and issue 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 organization. While my professional activities are focused on the global scale, I am deeply invested in the truth that we must think globally and act locally to create long-term impact.
