Impact professional pivoting from early education to consulting, strategy & operations, and impact investing. Building at the intersection of purpose and capital.
About
I spent years on the frontlines of early education, working to ensure every child had access to quality learning. That experience taught me something crucial: systemic change requires both heart and strategy. Now, I'm channeling that conviction into the world of impact investing—where capital meets purpose.
Built programs that reached hundreds of children, learning firsthand what systemic barriers look like from the ground up.
Sharpening my toolkit in strategy, operations, and finance—with a focus on the impact sector.
Bridging on-the-ground insight with capital allocation to drive scalable, sustainable social change.
