about me.

I grew up in California with two amazing parents, two younger sisters & a dog named Lucky. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I thought my life was perfect until I got the travel bug in college. I toured the major monuments before heading off-the-beaten-path to volunteer with orphans in rural Romania. Realized just how blessed I was, & decided to dedicate my life to finding solutions to end global poverty.

So I went back to school and got my Master’s in International Social Welfare & Social Enterprise from Columbia University. I then spent three years helping to launch charity: water from couch to conference room.  I am now working on, The Adventure Project, a nonprofit adding venture (moola) to support social enterprises around the world. Proud to be launching it with my amazing Co-Founder, Jody Landers.

I’ve traveled the world, seen solutions that work & believe everyone wants to invest wisely to help others. I’m building a tribe of people who share my vision; that there are low-cost, high-impact solutions that can transform communities. It’s about creating jobs and dignity. It’s fixing bottlenecks and supporting a consumer demand for services and products that save lives.

Join me,
