Innovation Strategy, Strategic Communications & Venture Growth Leader

I've spent 15+ years at the intersection of emerging technology, business strategy, and communications, helping organizations translate complex innovations into compelling visions, strategic partnerships, and commercial opportunities. I've learned that successful innovation takes more than great technology. It requires the right narrative, market strategy, and relationships to turn ideas into meaningful business outcomes.

​

Today, I lead business development and client engagement for Interactive Media at the World Bank Group, developing strategic communications solutions and translating complex initiatives into stories that resonate with global audiences. Previously, I worked on Meta's Public Policy team, supported startup commercialization through the U.S. Air Force's AFWERX program, and led strategic partnerships at Brightline Interactive.

​

Beyond my corporate roles, I've built public platforms around emerging technology and innovation. As a former co-host of the VR/AR Association's Everything VR & AR podcast, I've engaged founders, executives, investors, and policymakers in conversations about the future of technology and business. I've also built Washington, D.C.'s immersive technology ecosystem and co-founded XR Women and Ready Player Golf, bringing together communities to accelerate innovation and collaboration.

​

I'm currently pursuing my Executive MBA at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management (Class of 2027), expanding my focus on venture strategy, corporate growth, and the financial decisions that drive successful businesses.

My passion lies in connecting technology, people, and opportunity—shaping compelling narratives, building strategic partnerships, and helping ambitious organizations bring innovation to market and scale.
