About

I’m a community builder, strategist, and mentor who helps founders and leaders grow thriving ecosystems around their work. As Community Director at MassChallenge, one of the world’s largest non-profit startup accelerators, I’ve led national engagement strategies connecting 2,000+ startups, mentors, and partners across climate, health, fintech, and resiliency.

With over 15 years of experience spanning education, social impact, and innovation, I specialize in helping people and organizations:
• Build authentic, scalable communities
• Design programs and products that foster deep engagement and measurable outcomes
• Strengthen partnerships and stakeholder relationships
• Lead with clarity, empathy, and strategic focus

My ideal mentees are founders, community builders, or early-stage leaders who want to align purpose with growth — whether you’re launching a new initiative, refining your value proposition, or developing your leadership approach. My mentoring style is collaborative, candid, and actionable: I’ll help you cut through noise, get to the heart of your goals, and design practical systems to achieve them.

If you’re ready to accelerate your growth, let’s talk about where you’re headed and build a plan to get you there.
