At The Schmidt Family Foundation I deployed capital to funds, early-stage companies, and nonprofits working to promote regenerative agricultural practices. I developed TSFF's U.S. Food & Agriculture impact investing strategy and conducted a landscape assessment of the current state of AgTech investing. My day-to-day responsibilities included: sourcing prospective investment opportunities, conducting due diligence on individual deals, providing active management of existing investments.

Private equity firm specializing in agriculture and water resource investments in the western United States and globally. At WAM I conducted due diligence on prospective investments (including building discounted cash flow models). I also carried out research on a wide range of topics including: trends in agricultural real estate investment, green bonds, regenerative agricultural practices, soil carbon sequestration, western water rights, groundwater management, desalination technologies, hemp cultivation and processing, and wastewater management systems.

As a Program Associate at The Rockefeller Foundation, I supported the strategic development and execution of the Foundation's Revalue Ecosystems, Freshwater, and Food initiatives, managing over $24 million in grant awards across the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. My work focused on the food-water-energy nexus and conservation finance.

As a research assistant I evaluated the impact of land-use change on water catchment ecosystems using InVest software models developed by the Natural Capital Project. I also assessed the applicability of InVest models across different climatic zones through a comprehensive review of hydrological and ecological literature.
