With a background in economic development and work on programs including the United Nations Global Compact Cities Program, I love connecting the public and private sectors with community, academia, and industry associations. I have experience in major projects, urban redevelopment, and smart city data science. My focus started on water-sensitive urban development but increasingly, I am learning about energy efficiency. Additionally, I have worked with software companies, R&D for new technologies, and life science research. I am most proud of helping to get a cooperative cancer research center off the ground, with LEED certification. I volunteer and am passionate about philanthropy.
