20+ years driving measurable results across nonprofit, tech, and legal sectors. Deep experience building high-performing teams and initiatives, forging transformational partnerships, and securing resources for sustainable impact.
WHAT I’VE DONE
From 2013 through late-2023, I co-developed and led PSYDEH‘s transformation from single-person operation to globally recognized grassroots NGO (Fast Company, 2024 Anthem Award), achieving 19x financial and 62x total contribution growth with Fortune 500, big tech, and government partnerships, including Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Viasat, and Zoom. This work established proven methodologies for localization, digital inclusion, and economic solidarity. From late-2023 through summer 2025, I advised leadership transition and succession.
Preceding work in Washington, DC includes advising a top public-sector leadership training program, pioneering virtual reality tech initiatives, and serving as legal analyst and advisor with global law firms on international development and human rights issues.
WHAT I DO NOW
Based in Northeast Ohio since late-2023, I apply proven international methodologies to US contexts. Co-developing a cross-sector partnership model to scale community-led economic mobility solutions via local, Fortune 500, AI sector, and national philanthropic capital. Current international work includes executive producing a social impact documentary on women’s leadership and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Bilingual (English/Spanish).
