About

I architect and execute programs, tools, and teams that support healthy communities and connect technology with how people actually work and grow. My work bridges technical design with learning, coaching, and leadership development—helping organizations stay adaptable while keeping their integrity intact. My experience spans more than fifteen years in technology, transformation, and social impact—leading Salesforce and AWS apprenticeship teams, developing data and collaboration tools for high-growth organizations, and helping civic and nonprofit partners choose technologies that match their values and mission. I focus on making systems that work for people. Earlier in my career, I worked in arts education, program management, and open-source software. Those experiences still guide how I approach program management today. They inform my conviction that the best way to build a world that works for everyone is by solving real-world problems. I am currently catalyzing key members of business and civic communities to build for understanding, creativity, and shared progress towards just that. Dedicated to the human (U)X and ethical technology since 2009.
