BIG IDEAS, SMALL ACTS, CHANGE THE WORLD.

I believe local and global partnerships between business, government, and social sectors will create sustainable and scalable solutions to our most complex challenges. I enjoy leveraging technologies, ideas, and both financial and sweat equity to help our most vulnerable populations.

I began my career in finance and technology. After managing my own consulting company for many years, I joined PBS & NPR to create digital media start-ups, and later joined YPO to manage their social entrepreneurship division. I am currently head of strategic and corporate partnerships at Facing History & Ourselves, a teacher and student focused non-profit dedicated to fighting racism and bigotry. I am also an advisor and angel investor with Astia Global, helping women-led startups gain access to capital and resources.

I've been actively engaged with social impact/innovation, digital transformation, virtual communities, and the exponential technologies transforming our world my entire professional life. After working with Fortune 50/100 companies, I'm now focused on the potential of start-ups, non-profits, and progressive brands working together to make the world a better place.
