About Me

I’m a social impact leader focused on helping organizations navigate complex challenges and turn ideas into practical, real-world solutions. My work has largely lived at the intersection of strategy and implementation — building programs, launching initiatives, and working across sectors to improve outcomes for people navigating systemic barriers.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across nonprofits, public-sector partnerships, and national organizations. Most recently, I led the launch of Housing Connector’s Austin market, where I helped adapt a proven housing access model for a new community and built partnerships across the local housing ecosystem. Earlier in my career, I served as Chief Operating Officer at Marathon Kids and worked with nonprofits and public agencies through Blue Sky Partners, supporting strategic planning and systems-level initiatives.

I’m especially drawn to work that sits at the intersection of systems and people — identifying real problems, testing thoughtful solutions, and learning quickly from what works. That interest has increasingly pulled me toward policy and evaluation. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, where I focus on social policy and program evaluation. My recent academic work includes analyzing permanent housing interventions and studying low-cost strategies to increase exits from homelessness using HMIS data.

Outside of formal roles, I care deeply about building systems that are more humane, evidence-informed, and grounded in lived reality. I’m especially interested in housing, behavioral health, and upstream approaches that prevent harm before it escalates.

I’m currently open to select consulting and advisory projects, as well as full-time roles that bridge research, strategy, and implementation.
