About
I build systems and momentum where none exist. From leading a $100M+ project portfolio to launching an award-winning biodiversity initiative, my career has been defined by turning bold ideas into lasting structures. I’ve built and scaled a project management office, mobilized global teams, and delivered programs that drove measurable growth. At every step, I’ve worked across functions and sectors to transform complex challenges into clear strategies and tangible results.
What drives me now is using that same discipline to tackle the climate and equity crises head-on. I design programs that center biodiversity, climate resilience, and inclusion—whether advising on sustainable urban landscapes, teaching future environmental leaders, or strengthening cross-sector coalitions. My leadership style is grounded, collaborative, and solutions-driven: I engage stakeholders to identify where systems fall short and lead their transformation into smarter, more sustainable, and more equitable structures that deliver lasting value. At my core, I am a systems thinker, a connector, and a creative doer committed to building a world where people and planet flourish together.
