I work at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and capital — with the goal of building the systems and partnerships that let communities shape their own futures.

With experience spanning public institutions and private sector organizations across global development, I've seen firsthand what it takes to turn ambitious ideas into programs that actually reach people. Today, at Chemonics International, I'm focused on exploring new models for how the development sector can continue to support communities around the world — drawing on capital, innovation, and partnership to help build a better shared future for all.

My research and writing center on migration as a development driver, not a failure of it — and on what it takes to build policy frameworks that hold up in practice.

I hold a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago's Harris School, and a BA from the University of Toronto in Diaspora and Transnational Studies and International Relations.
