More About Me

About

Over the last fifteen years, I’ve worked in various industries ranging from nonprofit, media, corporate, and local governments — taking me to communities throughout the United States, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. I’ve supported leaders and organizations at several colleges and universities, consulted for international start-ups, and coached social impact leaders -  you name it, I’ve done it!

​

Currently, I lead the design and programmatic strategy work for building a deeply collaborative and equitable community and culture of nearly 1,000 global Fellows across 86 countries at Echoing Green, a social innovation fund and leader in the social impact space for over 30 years.

​

My passion for representation in this space has led me to pursue an EdD in Leadership and Innovation at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. I hold two Masters degrees; an executive MPA from NYU's Robert F. Wagner School of Public Policy and an MSSA from Case Western Reserve University, earning a BA in Sociology from North Carolina A&T State University. 

 

My portfolio of work demonstrates several areas of experience & expertise.

Storytelling  Community-building

My approach centers

 leadershipcommunity, &equity through a global lens.

Passionate about finding talent in the pursuit of innovative solutions to global and domestic challenges, the throughline in my work and research is grounded in the advancement of equitable support for proximate leaders in marginalized communities.  Over the course of my career, I've been continously and deeply dedicated to advancing social justice and economic empowerment for black, brown, and indigenous communities across the globe - particularly through social entrepreneurship. Whether I am speaking on a panel, sharing a thought leadership piece, or working directly with an organization to design programs that facilitate leadership development for emerging talent and building a community for these leaders to thrive, I enjoy supporting leaders and organizations operate in more intentional and equitable ways.
