Strategic thinker and advisor, communications director, information officer, writer/editor, and project manager with operational and on-the-ground expertise.

I have particular interest and experience in research, learning, and higher education; the innovation and entrepreneurial space; as well as internal engagement and community building.

Education

A proud liberal arts graduate of Kenyon College, I have taken life-long learning to heart, pursuing individual courses (both in-person and online), earning certificates, completing a micro-master's, and not quite getting through a master's in the history of science. I've pursued learning at institutions such as the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Harvard Kennedy School, Northeastern University, and the University of California, Berkeley, among others, in areas ranging from history of science to management to data science to public administration to digital marketing. I am currently in the online MBA program at Boston University's Questrom School of Business.
