From student activism to global strategy, this is a journey of building spaces where innovation meets purpose to drive lasting social impact.
Student Changemaker
My changemaker journey began as a student who refused to sit on the sidelines. At Arizona State University, I helped lead initiatives such as Changemaker Central and the Two Dollar Challenge - co-founding student organizations, serving in student government, and mobilizing thousands of students around social impact and civic engagement. These years taught me that giving myself permission to be the change is not just a great way to live a meaningful life, but also fantastic career move.
Social Entrepreneur
That curiosity led me to Ashoka, the pioneer network of social entrepreneurs, where I spent nearly a decade designing and facilitating learning experiences for global fellows, corporations, and educational institutions. I helped expand the Spiritual Changemakers Initiative into a multi-language global community and supported partnerships that embedded changemaking into educational ecosystems.
Vision Architect
After Ashoka, my work expanded into consulting with organizations such as UNDP, USAID, the U.S. Department of State, and the White House AI Initiative — facilitating strategic retreats, human-centered design programs, and culture-building experiences that strengthened alignment and innovation. Across these chapters, I have facilitated more than 230 workshops and leadership sessions, engaging thousands of leaders across sectors and continents.
Continuing the Work: Transformative Spaces for Changemakers Everywhere
Today, through Changemaker Allies and partnerships with institutions like the ASU College of Global Futures and the Watson Institute, I continue this work - creating transformative spaces where changemakers reconnect, realign, and move forward with clarity in times that demand depth. I am a faculty at ASU teaching a course called “Being the Change”. Recently, I joined forces with my business mentor, Brent Martini, Fortune 50 leader, to develop a framework focused on strengthening intrapreneurship - equipping individuals and organizations to drive change from within.
