Building and launching products and programs with purpose.

I am very excited to be working with a passionate team at Facebook, focused on building partnerships and programs that empower community leaders around the globe.

I have the hands-on experience of running virtually every aspect of a business (from finding a product fit and building a brand, to business process optimization) and gravitate towards programs and organizations that are mission-driven and help people live happier, healthier, more connected lives. As an ex-strategy consultant, I'll funnel the new ideas into a structured strategy and roadmap, and lead teams to get results. As an ENFP, empath and mindfulness practitioner, I bring passion, creativity and energy into each engagement.
