I’ve spent my career building and scaling programs that have collectively empowered 15,000 people to take climate action. And over the last decade, I’ve focused my work at the intersection of climate, business, and innovation in both private and non-profit organizations. At Environmental Defense Fund, I built EDF’s Innovation Fund - an internal incubator to unleash creative solutions to protect the environment. The incubator enabled conditions for innovation to flourish across the organization by investing in staff and creating an inclusive, repeatable process to incubate new ideas. I also worked to empower the next generation of climate leaders by leading corporate partnerships and an entrepreneurship initiative for EDF's Climate Corps fellowship program. Prior to EDF, I cofounded and ran Green Impact Campaign, a nonprofit that trained students to conduct energy assessments for small businesses using cloud-based tools. My goal was to revolutionize the way students were learning and interacting with energy efficiency, while at the same time helping small businesses reduce their environmental impact and energy costs.In 2023, I created the global social movement #OpenDoorClimate, a community of climate professionals making themselves available to speak with people interested in working on climate. Over 100 climate professionals connected with 2k green job seekers within two months - leading to connections, interviews, and breakthroughs. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of being an Echoing Green fellow, Halcyon Incubator fellow, Clean Energy Leadership Institute fellow, and the recipient of the Alliance to Save Energy's Rising Star of Energy Efficiency Award and Net Impact's Force for Change Award.Skills: Human-centered program design and management, Partnership building and management, Strategy design and evaluation, Rapid prototyping and ideation, Public speaking and writing
