I help organizations navigate complex technological landscapes while ensuring no one falls through the cracks.

I'm driven by a fundamental question: How do we ensure that the technologies reshaping our world work for everyone, not just a privileged few?

My career has been defined by building bridges—between big-picture strategy and operational excellence, between cutting-edge innovation and community needs, between technological possibility and ethical responsibility. I've scaled ventures from $150K to $7M+ in annual revenue, built transportation access programs serving 36,000+ rides for underserved communities, and developed ethical frameworks for AI systems reaching over 100 million users.

What sets my work apart is the integration of strategic foresight with deep community engagement. Whether I'm coaching city leaders through the Bloomberg-Harvard City Leadership Initiative, developing geospatial technology platforms for federal agencies, or teaching the next generation of ethical designers, I'm constantly asking: What futures are we creating, and who gets to participate in shaping them?"

My interdisciplinary background uniquely positions me to navigate complex technological challenges. I hold a BS in Plant Biology from UC Berkeley (with honors) and an MS in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design. This scientific foundation, combined with design thinking and real-world scaling experience, enables me to approach innovation with both analytical rigor and creative vision.

My expertise spans venture leadership (Chief Innovation Officer at Sostento, CEO of Four Resolutions), academic instruction (Professor at Otis College, guest lecturer at UCLA), civic innovation (Bloomberg-Harvard City Leadership Initiative), and strategic consulting for Fortune 500 companies through BCG X. I've also served as a crisis counselor, which deepened my understanding of human vulnerability and resilience—perspectives that inform my approach to ethical technology development.

I'm based in Los Angeles and work with clients globally, from federal agencies to startups to multinational corporations.
