I have served as Executive Director of Riverdale Neighborhood House, a historic settlement house in the Bronx, where I transformed the organization during COVID-19, and Worthless Studios, a new public arts institution in Brooklyn.  I was also the first COO of Pioneer Works, creating a sustainable model for the groundbreaking multi-disciplinary arts center.  Before my nonprofit career, I spent 17 years at Ogilvy as Senior Partner, where I helped build corporate and mission-based brands for clients ranging from Goldman Sachs to the New York Public Library.  I hold a BA from Wesleyan University, and an MBA from the Columbia School of Business.
