Helping to scale climate solutions.

My Mission

I’m focused on supporting food security, climate resilience, and environmental conservation to ensure a habitable planet for all beings. I have spent my career working with startups and launching new programs, and am dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with the right resources to scale impactful ideas.

My Experience

I serve as a Senior Director of Innovation at Elemental Impact, leading the organization’s food/agriculture, nature-based solutions, and industry portfolio. I help our companies connect with high value partners and resources that address their most pressing needs. In addition to providing guidance to the portfolio, I co-design projects with our entrepreneurs and stakeholders, and spearhead investment sourcing and diligence.

Prior to Elemental, I was helping to launch a fund focused on building climate resilient communities in North America. I previously spent over three years at Chobani, where I managed the Chobani Incubator and Food Tech Residency programs to support food and ag entrepreneurs. Before Chobani, I spent two years in Detroit as a Venture for America Fellow. During that time, I worked alongside the founder at a small fintech startup and served as Strategic Project Manager for a special advisor to the Mayor of Detroit.

I hold an MS in Sustainability Management from Columbia University, and a BA in Political Science from Duke University.
