CV
Professional Summary
As someone who grew up in poverty, I have spent much of my life navigating the minefield that comes from being in privileged spaces with a low-income background. I strive to bring this unique and often underrepresented perspective into all the spaces I inhabit, approaching every opportunity with empathy and creativity.
I have worked in a variety of industries and fields, driving innovation and building the capabilities for change. My work has been driven by a passion for helping people navigate seemingly intractable problems and find solutions in unexpected places.
