Skills
Summary
As a Principal and Strategy Consultant, I partner with non-profit organizations, foundations, and academic institutions to support collaboration that builds climate resilience. With over 17 years of experience in the environmental and philanthropic sector, I have extensive knowledge and skills in program design, policy analysis, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement. My mission is to invest in human and natural infrastructure that can tackle the tough challenges posed by climate change. I draw on my previous roles as a Senior Program Officer and Program Officer at the Walton Family Foundation, where I managed a $30M/yr portfolio of grants and investments in the Mississippi River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico. I also leverage my background in community development, international development, and environmental policy to bring a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective to my work. I am passionate about ecosystem restoration, community empowerment, and collaborative solutions, and I believe that oysters are in fact the answer to many questions.
