I am a multi-industry engineer, program manager, and educator with a passion for making a difference in the lives of individuals, communities, and organizations. My professional journey has equipped me with a dynamic background that is transferable across various specialized fields. I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and excel, and I am committed to driving successful initiatives that create a positive impact.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to solve complex puzzles and lead teams toward collective solutions. My experience ranges from being a Third Grade Instructor at Democracy Prep to serving as a Digital Equity Program Manager. I have also held academic positions as an Adjunct Professor at Baruch College and Parsons School of Design, where I taught subjects such as Project Management and Strategic Management. My expertise lies in curriculum development, classroom instruction, and fostering inclusive learning environments.

With a proven track record of driving strategy, design, and execution, I approach every challenge with a beginner’s mind, eager to learn and adapt. I am dedicated to creating accessible and affable environments where individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.
