My background is in nonprofit and business consulting and philanthropy and impact investing. Prior to co-founding Perceptist, I served as Director of Strategy and Innovation at Education Strategy Group, a national education consulting firm, where I led the organization’s strategic planning process and its subsequent implementation. Before that, I worked at Agora Partnerships where I built out Agora’s presence in Colombia and supported early stage growth social businesses from Argentina to Mexico to define their growth and impact strategies and raise impact investment, first as a management consultant and then as head of Agora’s flagship accelerator program. Earlier in my career, I was a grantmaker at Carnegie Corporation of New York on the New Designs to Advance Learning teams where I identified organizations whose work would advance our strategy to help schools and school systems reorient towards more student-centered and future-oriented learning experiences. I began my career as an educator in New York City and Latin America. These experiences have given me a diverse perspective on organizational growth and funding strategies across sectors to drive impact and a deep set of skills to help leaders build stronger organizations.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Wesleyan University and hold masters degrees from Columbia University in Quantitative Methods and from Fordham University in Education.
