About Me
I’ve spent over two decades partnering with innovators, businesspeople, policymakers and community leaders around the world to tackle climate and conservation challenges like overfishing, tropical deforestation, carbon markets, energy transition, and climate adaptation. I’ve learned the most durable solutions emerge where systems-level strategy meets the lived experience of communities. Real progress requires shared vision, thoughtfully-designed solutions, and a sustained commitment to action.
Through my consultancy, I work with multilateral climate institutions, cross-sector coalitions, businesses, nonprofits and frontline advocates to turn ambitious goals into practical, investable, and lasting outcomes. Together, we are building a more resilient future for our families and communities.
Career
I’ve worked on the front and behind the scenes of initiatives big and small, building a toolkit that spans policy, finance, research, partnerships, advocacy, communications, fundraising, and community-centered implementation. Consulting clients and former employers include:
Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (Climate Resilient Communities Accelerator and Kinetic Coalition)
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat
I’ve also been a guest lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business and LBJ School of Public Affairs.
Education
I earned my bachelor’s degree from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and a master’s from the University of Texas at Austin’s Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. A lifelong learner, I’ve also trained in facilitation, leadership, fine arts, design thinking, and project management. My most recent class? Welding!
Community
I live in Austin, Texas, where I serve on the Texas Regional Council of the National Parks Conservation Association and the Austin Community Foundation’s Women’s Fund Grant Committee, and volunteer with Meals on Wheels Central Texas and TreeFolks. You can often find me tending my garden, swimming at Barton Springs, or listening to live music with family and friends.
