Throughout the course of my career in the for-profit and nonprofit worlds, I have delivered meaningful – and lasting – social and business impact as an influential C-level business builder and entrepreneur, a philanthropic programs director, board director and advisor, and advocate. With experience spanning architecture, technology, and cultural strategy, my work is rooted in aligning vision with execution to create sustainable outcomes and systems-level change.

Most recently, I served as Director of Arts at the Knight Foundation, where I oversaw a $90M+ national portfolio and led $75 million in grantmaking to advance digital transformation in the arts. I launched the Catalyst Forum and played a key role in initiatives like Knight New Work and the Knight Media Forum.

Before Knight, I founded SproutsIO Inc., a groundbreaking food technology company born from my research at the MIT Media Lab. The venture was recognized by the Wired Innovation Fellowship, INK Talks, and the Cartier Women’s Initiative among other accolades. My earlier work spans architectural practice at Arquitectonica International, exhibition design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and an artist residency at Eyebeam Art & Technology Center. I co-founded the design studio fluxxlab and have taught design and sustainability courses at Columbia University, CUNY, and Pratt Institute.

I have served on the advisory boards and committees of major nonprofits such as YoungArts, The Joyce Foundation, The Underline, and The Wolfsonian-FIU. I hold architecture degrees from the University of Miami and Columbia University, and a Master’s from the MIT Media Lab.
