Born in Texas, I grew up mostly in the Southeast and Midwest, and have also lived in New England, the West, and over a year internationally in Latin America and Africa.

I began consulting to organizations that want their communities to be a more loved home in 2023 after serving as an executive with Fahe, a multi-state housing and economic development organization. At Fahe, I offered expertise on stakeholder strategy and communications and collaborated to introduce a number of organizational improvements that have contributed to tens of millions in new housing funding. At the same time, I served in a consultative role to the Fahe network of over 50 organizations across six states.

I currently also serve as strategy analyst to a large US company. In the past, I’ve directed operations and developed new business at two growth-stage companies, served as law clerk to a federal judge, and carried out field research on local communities and economic development in Peru as a Fulbright Scholar. I graduated from Yale University in economics and from the University of North Carolina School of Law.
