I design and facilitate experiences — conferences, convenings, leadership retreats, and workshops — for mission-driven organizations.
Most recently, I led events and strategic partnerships for the Robin Hood Foundation's $25M Mobility LABs initiative, spanning nine communities across five states: six years of end-to-end event design, virtual and live, a $1.6M experiential storytelling campaign, and partnerships with the Gates Foundation, Capital One, and 25 community organizations. Before that, high-profile public events and town halls for New York City's Department of Social Services.
My range runs from intimate, high-touch community gatherings to large-scale government forums and national conferences. The through-line is simple: the room is where change actually happens. When the right people are in the right space, designed with intention, real outcomes follow — and that takes both creative vision and operational discipline. Concept and program design, budgets, vendors, timelines, and the small decisions that make a room feel like something rather than just happen.
Seventeen years across law, government, philanthropy, and advocacy campaigns. After a decade of high-intensity execution, I took an intentional sabbatical and traveled across Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe — observing how different cultures gather, and what environments actually require to support collaboration and wellbeing.
