Helping to scale climate solutions.

My Mission

I’m focused on supporting food security, climate resilience, and environmental conservation to ensure a habitable planet for all beings. I have spent my career working with startups and launching new programs, and am dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with the right resources to scale impactful ideas.

My Experience

I serve as Managing Director of Portfolio and Investments at Elemental Impact, leading and supporting a growing portfolio of over 160 companies that represents over $100M in investments deployed. During my time at Elemental, I’ve reviewed over 1,000 applications for funding and personally led over three dozen investments totaling over $25M, with more on the horizon.

I’m focused on delivering first-class founder support across the portfolio and implementing new catalytic finance tools like the Development-SAFE. I also serves as a trusted partner to our portfolio companies. Whether it’s serving as a Board Observer or being available for strategic calls, I’m always eager to provide my experience and perspectives to help our founders grow their businesses.

Prior to Elemental, I was helping to launch a fund focused on building climate resilient communities in North America. I previously spent over three years at Chobani, where I managed the Chobani Incubator and Food Tech Residency programs to support food and ag entrepreneurs. Before Chobani, I spent two years in Detroit as a Venture for America Fellow. During that time, I worked alongside the founder at a small fintech startup and served as Strategic Project Manager for a special advisor to the Mayor of Detroit.

I hold an MS in Sustainability Management from Columbia University, and a BA in Political Science from Duke University.
