ABOUT ME

As a T-shaped program manager, I have deep expertise in client relationship building and adjacent skills in operational finance, strategy, and affecting impact at scale. I’ve serviced the nonprofit and public sectors - with the goal of leveraging creative thinking and financial analysis to drive impact for good. I’ve also had the privilege of leading global design teams to deliver stellar value through product innovation and experiences in multiple consumer categories for a global clientele. My professional career lives in the overlapping space of creative project management and measurable community impact.

SPECIALITIES

  • At the heart of good design is the reason behind why it exists. I help identify, communicate, and build engagement towards design intent that moves the needle on meaningful and impactful processes.

  • Engaging community voices throughout the design process is an essential step towards ensuring systems are informed by individual experiences and aligned with community value systems.

  • I’m heavily invested and interested in understanding how individual experiences affect and shape organizational strategies. I love getting to know people beyond their professional capacities to understand their personal motivations, value systems, and reasons for being.
