Resume

I am an experienced researcher and educator with hands on experience managing international research projects, building partnerships between individuals and institutions, and telling stories to make the complex world easier to understand for a variety of audiences. I have published on digital economies, urban governance, data and ‘smart cities’, economic diversity and research practices. I have a passion for people and mission directed work. I combine this passion with a deep concern for equity leading to social and political transformations that enable organizations to live up to their fullest potential.

My unending curiosity, partnered with strategic, collaborative thinking and environmental intelligence offers direction to how to leverage an institution’s or company’s already existing assets into forward-thinking opportunities for impact or growth.

I am a passionate photographer, walker, and design enthusiast, where my eye for detail takes flight. It’s in those small details that one finds big insight.
