HERlead was a groundbreaking partnership between ANN INC. and the international women's NGO Vital Voices to empower young women from across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada to affect global progress, invest in their communities, and begin their journeys as the next generation of leaders. Through HERLead I founded a youth civic engagement program (Fighting Injustice Through Youth Art), received advanced leadership & public speaking training, and developed an incredible network of strong female leaders from across the US and the world. In addition to being a Fellow, my roles included grantee, program speaker, and 2018 Ambassador. Beyond being an active member of the Vital Voices Network, I have continued to be a passionate advocate for VV as co-chair of our Young Leaders Council in the Bay Area - building the Bay Area support and network for our new "old girls club" for inspiring emerging female leaders around the world.

My first foray into climate tech and startups - and the best one I ever could have asked for. Novi is a SaaS platform to bring increased transparency and sustainability to the consumer goods industry. Backed by Greylock, Cowboy, Khosla and Tiger Global. As a founding employee (#7), I joined at Series A to help build out our go-to-market strategy & operations with retailers, consumer brands and manufacturers before becoming our Product Manager shortly after. Did a little bit of everything including lead customer demos in my first week, design our onboarding program to scale to 300 customers in my first month, launched our first enterprise retailer partnership and bugged our product & eng team about improvements enough to both get my ideas implemented (driving +75% engagement) and get myself a job as a PM.
