What i do
I’m an investor, builder, and believer in the power of opportunity.
Talent is equally distributed. Opportunity is not.
Today, I invest in venture capital managers at Cambridge Associates, where I focus on sourcing, evaluating, and supporting emerging and diverse managers across the venture ecosystem.
Venture Capital
Investing in the next generation of venture capital.
I evaluate venture capital managers, emerging funds, and opportunities across the innovation ecosystem, with a particular focus on identifying talented investors who may be overlooked by traditional capital.
Impact Investing
Putting capital to work for people and the planet.
I’m interested in investments that pair strong financial potential with meaningful social or environmental outcomes—from climate resilience and accessibility to economic opportunity.
Community & Ecosystem
Building ecosystems, not just portfolios.
I believe investing is ultimately about people. I work to expand access to capital, mentorship, networks, and opportunities for founders, fund managers, and communities that have historically been underserved.
My Why
Who gets access to opportunities and what would change if we expanded that access?
My career has taken me from HR and diversity strategy at Capital One, to disability inclusion and workforce development, to venture capital, entrepreneurship, climate and impact investing. Across each chapter, I’ve kept coming back to the same question. This question shapes how I invest, what I build, and the communities I choose to be part of.
What Excites Me
I’m particularly interested in the people and technologies working to solve some of society’s biggest challenges and in the investors building the infrastructure to finance them.
