Think of me as a fixer.
Reach out when you need someone to research a toolkit, produce an event, write funder communications, manage a strategic visioning process, identify giving opportunities — or anything else that could use my particular blend of precision, humor, and joy. I'm especially interested in work that integrates climate, justice, belonging, and narrative change.

Do you need someone to take a tricky project and make headway? I facilitated and co-produced a nonprofit’s 10-year strategic vision, designed and hosted an all-day improv comedy festival in DC, and managed relationships and content for complex public-private partnerships.

Distilling complexity into simplicity is necessary for shared understanding. I can help — I’ve worked on topics spanning climate impact investing, human rights, marine conservation, and public health.

Every room that contains a human relationship has unseen, unheard, and unshaped dynamics. Facilitating conversations can help us identify points of friction and move into deeper alignment. When I facilitate, I seek to understand individuals’ needs for collective dreaming.

As a child of immigrants, I didn’t have a blueprint or network to jump from post-graduate to computer-based work. I love serving as a navigator for people who are earlier in their careers through one-on-one coaching.

I started producing events when I was fourteen and never stopped. I love building shared spaces, especially when we have similar needs and goals. Let’s bring people together!
past work
Event Production
In 2024, I planned three events in two days at SF Climate Week. I developed a staff workbook on content and logistics for a high-profile convening that a colleague called “aggressively impressive”.
Projects & Publications
I’ve contributed to a 10-year strategic plan for a climate nonprofit, a website for people working + living at the intersection of human rights and extractive projects, and a toolkit designed to help marine conservation workers be better neighbors.
Public Speaking
I’ve spoken at SXSW, the Penn State Climate Solutions Symposium, panels for early-career professionals, and more. Here’s a podcast where I discuss how catalytic capital can support climate solutions.
