I've spent the past seven years in Asia and Africa working at the intersection of international education, equity and inclusion, and social studies instruction. Over this time, what I've enjoyed most are opportunities to develop systems and programs both within and across organizations, as well as collaborating with people from around the world to solve complex problems. This realization, as well as my belief that the issues I care about require systemic solutions, has led me to pursue an MBA at the Haas School of Business. Post-MBA, I seek to leverage my strategic planning, creative problem solving, and stakeholder communication skills to help mission driven organizations clarify and fulfill strategic goals.
