A transformative leader in equity, philanthropy, and institutional innovation, I bring nearly two decades of experience driving systemic change at the intersection of education, policy, and social justice. My career has been defined by a commitment to activating communities, fostering inclusive excellence, and mobilizing resources to challenge inequality and expand opportunity. I have led organizations through strategic transformation, aligning financial stewardship, thought leadership, and mission-driven investments to achieve historic gains in institutional prestige, student success, and community impact.

As a global advocate for justice, I have engaged with national and international policymakers, civil society leaders, and philanthropic organizations to drive equity-focused initiatives. My expertise has been sought at the United Nations, U.S. Congress, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, numerous state legislatures and civil rights organizations. I have provided expert testimony and policy recommendations that shape national and global discourse, and my research has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, and other leading media platforms.

We have successfully innovated and sustained high-impact organizations, leveraging strategic investments, innovative partnerships, and bold leadership to expand access, elevate institutional prestige, and drive systemic change. Our fundraising and resource development leadership has resulted in record-breaking philanthropic support, community success, and cross-sector collaborations that fuel groundbreaking initiatives in social justice, education, and community empowerment.

In addition to financial stewardship, my leadership philosophy is deeply rooted in people, institutions, and bold ideas—the three pillars that drive sustainable progress. I have cultivated diverse, high-performing teams and embedded equity and inclusion into organizational culture, ensuring that institutions not only reflect the communities they serve but also empower them.

At a time of profound global challenges, I am committed to reimagining knowledge and social change, ensuring that mission-driven organizations remain catalysts for transformative impact. With a deep understanding of governance, financial acumen, and a proven ability to lead at scale, I am dedicated to advancing solutions that strengthen democracy, promote justice, and create lasting change worldwide.
