Helping to scale climate change solutions.

My Mission

I’m focused on supporting effective food security, carbon removal, emissions abatement, and environmental conservation to ensure a habitable planet for all. 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 Director of Innovation at Elemental Excelerator, leading the organization’s food, agriculture, and nature-based solutions 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, spearhead diligence and recruitment for the sector, and collaborate with our Partnerships team to engage leading corporates interested in innovation and sustainability.

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.
