A Little More About Me

Transformational education, career, and personal growth opportunities have been powerful catalysts in my own life, pushing me to grow and develop my own gifts and focus. I am dedicated to creating those opportunities for others, both individually and systemically.

I started my career as an analyst. Excel is my friend and I enjoy being a translator for people who aren't as comfortable with numbers.

I spent a good amount of time at a nonprofit building financial products for underserved communities. I joined just as the team was launching an MVP and left as we reached 500,000 users and leveraged our platform to deliver an emergency COVID cash relief program. I learned about rapid growth, culture change, and empowering teams, but my most important learnings came from our users who consistently inspired me with their ingenuity and dreams.

When I became my own boss, I started thinking about my "work" as a portfolio of paid and unpaid interests that build richer communities. I've coached over 20 teams in Lean Impact, worked fractionally to launch multi-million dollar initiatives, and honed my skills in strategy, research, partnerships, and innovation. My current projects focus on underserved workers in the US, helping to provide better workplace benefits, protections, and support.

I'm certified with Washington State's Office of Minority and Women's Owned Business Enterprises and I’m trained in Technology of Participation (ToP) Facilitation methods.
