I’m dedicated to cultivating resilience and justice in the face of social and climatic disruption.
As an independent consultant, I work with nonprofits and foundations on strategy, facilitation, and program design.
I’m a generalist at heart, but I have particular interest in working on the places where big, thorny issues intersect and figuring out the right combination of people and approaches to interrupt the status quo and build something better.
Most recently, I served as Director of Programs at Compton Foundation until its sunset in 2025. In that role, I oversaw the redistribution of more than $20 million in assets to social movements advancing peace, democracy, climate solutions, and reproductive justice.
Through all my work, I bring both the rigor of my academic background (I’m a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Center for Right-Wing Studies and hold degrees from Stanford and the University of Cambridge) and the practical experience of my work in nonprofit programs, leadership development, and community organizing.
