The team supports breakthrough solutions to global challenges by blending catalytic grants, convenings, network engagement, and coalition building. As part of this work, the team programs convenings and residencies for the RF's Bellagio Center in Italy.I began my career at The Rockefeller Foundation in 2006, leaving in 2015 to serve as Senior Advisor to the Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education.
