Product Development and User Experience

Creator

Have the vision for change and struggling with making sure all the loose-ends are accounted for?

It may be helpful to bring in a fresh perspective with a trained eye that balances the technical and dynamic perspective. Explore products that I have developed starting in different phases of the design process.

Data Systems and Tool Creation

Architect

Collecting data, but still unable to integrate the change to use it?

Maybe it’s not what the data are saying and more about how they are expressed. Click below to preview an example of a data systems and an evaluation tools I developed to leverage the information we have in a digestible manner.

Design Thinking and Learning & Development

Facilitator

In the need of collaboration or organizational learning, but unsure how to bring clarity and complexity together?

Here are examples of my design thinking practices that can lead to the development of creating organization-wide consensus about the adaptive challenges that you face. It is coupled with how to bring those not involved in the creation process to adopt and integrate the cultural change.

 

Curious about my experience?

Here’s a roadmap of my career up to present day.

My Background

 

My hodgepodge of nonlinear experiences made me the adaptive leader I am today. I tend to find myself seamlessly floating from project manager to user-centric designer, facilitator to process engineering. I am an avid reader and podcast listener. I thrive when I have a chance to synthesize what I learn from multiple disciplines to bring together alignment, fusion and facilitate harmony in my work.

Still looking for more about me?

I joined the Read Charlotte Team in September 2018 serving as Sustainability Lead for the Data Collaborative Project as a fellow for Education Pioneers.  The position has since transitioned to being Principal, Organizational Design and Effectiveness. Prior to Read Charlotte, I spent the past five years working in the international development sector with ACCESS Development Services, Foundation for Sustainable Development and Peace Corps Nicaragua. While working with diverse groups of stakeholders in India, Uganda and Nicaragua, I incorporated an asset-based community development approach that led to community led and owned initiatives.  Most recently, I served on a Peace Corps committee in partnership with the Ministry of Education where I co-designed and implemented a national project-based learning curriculum for secondary school students in Nicaragua.  I hold a bachelor’s degree from Pace University in Political Science. 

I’d love to explore how we can create the next great thing together.
