About I'm a JD/MBA graduate with a passion for sustainability, decarbonizing the economy, and employee ownership. While working in "Big Law" for two international law firms, I helped clients navigate the complex landscape of SEC regulations and secure VC financing to scale their businesses. I'm especially interested in creating a more resilient economy by accounting for climate-related financial risk and expanding employee ownership.

Outside of work, I enjoy activities that challenge me physically and mentally. I've developed resilience and flexibility through distance running and yoga. I meditate to stay grounded and explore consciousness. My love of cooking requires precision and creative expression. I also can unicycle, but my future in the circus is limited until I learn to juggle.
