About

I'm an industry-agnostic strategist leveraging technology, data, and strategic insights to drive systems-level change. Passionate about sustainable practices and promoting regenerative economies, I enhance operational efficiencies and develop impactful fundraising strategies with a commitment to racial justice and equity. My career spans government, public education, and technology, where I've promoted economic and educational justice for underserved communities. Currently, as a Senior Information Technology Specialist with the City of Seattle's Office of Housing, I lead the restructuring of the Multifamily Tax Exemption Program to ensure equitable access and outcomes. Previously, I managed research projects for organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft, focusing on inclusive educational technology solutions.
