Working Together
Nice to meet you.
Community builder, educator, and independent strategist based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Nearly a decade in high-growth tech and AI, from early-stage startups where I wore almost every hat to leading community at Scale AI and Lovable, I learned a lot about how ambitious organizations grow and what it costs when the business side of the work comes at the expense of the human side.
Now, I partner with mission-driven people and organizations who treat authenticity, belonging, and connection as practices, not performances.
I care more about the relationship than the transaction. If you do too, let’s start with a conversation. The first one is on me.
ApproachPeople, programs,
processes.
Whatever you're building probably has three parts: the people, the programs that bring them together, and the processes underneath.
peopleStrategic Advising & Mentorship
You don’t always need another pair of hands. Sometimes you need a thought partner who knows the terrain and can help you see the path forward. I offer ongoing strategic advising for organizations and 1:1 mentorship.
For founders, solopreneurs, and community professionals at any stage.
peopleTeaching & Speaking
I translate a decade of experience inside tech and AI spaces into practical, accessible education: from public speaking and debate for young people to AI literacy, vibe coding, and candid talks about the industry.
For schools, youth and civic organizations, parents, and event organizers.
programsCommunity Strategy
Informed by running communities of up to a million members, I design programs, rituals, and engagement systems that gather people and keep them coming back. Turn attention into belonging with metrics custom-built around your community’s purpose.
For startups, nonprofits, civic organizations, and independent builders creating community around a shared purpose.
programsMarketing & Communications
Good work deserves to be understood. I help shape brands, messaging, content, campaigns, and customer experiences that are authentic by using targeted analytics to understand what’s working.
For mission-driven teams doing meaningful work whose voice and story need to be amplified.
ProcessesAI Implementation
Most teams know AI could help, but few have the time to figure out where it should. I help you identify what’s worth adopting, then put it to work: automations, integrations, dashboards, and custom tools built around how you already operate.
For individuals or teams doing too much manually, but with too little time to do anything about it.
ProcessesOperations
When everything depends on one person, both the work and the person pay for it. I build the systems behind sustainable work: processes, workflows, documentation, org structure, and reporting that help good programs run without constant heroics.
For small teams carrying too much, and organizations whose work has outgrown the systems supporting them.
Values How we treat
each other
At the intersection of people, programs, and processes is also where your values live.
Values that only exist in a mission statement aren't values yet. They're intentions.
My job is to make sure what you believe is visible in how you operate.
People are the point
Advocacy runs through everything I do. I will speak for the people your work serves, especially when they aren't in the room, which means asking who carries the cost of a decision and naming the assumptions none of us have questioned yet. Every choice we make lands on someone. I will help keep us honest and bring us back to them.
Authenticity as practice, not performance
Authenticity is a way of being, not branding. I show up as myself, I'm not here to judge you or what you've built, and I want to support you. The people I collaborate with tend to care deeply about their work, and that energy is easier to build on when nobody is posturing. Consider this an invitation to drop performances and hierarchies.
Clear is kind
Candor, communicated consistently and compassionately, is the most generous thing I can offer you. I will tell you what I see, ask challenging questions, and name what you might be too close to notice, always with respect and in service of the work, never at your expense. Clarity is a form of care, not criticism. I welcome the same from you.
Relationships over transactions
Alignment matters more than a contract. The most meaningful work I've been part of started as a conversation with no agenda, and it flourished because the relationship came before the deliverable. Human-centered work starts by being human with each other, so collaboration is exploratory and joyful rather than transactional. Whether we're a good fit or not, I’ll tell you.
Sustainable by design
Sustainability is a requirement, not a nice-to-have. I won't build a system that only works if someone sacrifices themselves to run it, or that causes harm to the people it touches, and I don’t work that way myself. I've been inside enough places that ran on burnout to know how that ends, so you'll always get options for how the work can happen. If a plan depends on heroics, it’s not a plan.
The first conversation is on meWhatever shape the engagement takes, what you walk away with is the same — people, programs, and processes that support each other, your values unmistakable in how you operate, and your mission at the center of all of it.
