I’m an instructional designer and qualitative researcher specializing in social innovation, impact investing, and public health.

Most recently, I was a learning designer at Acumen, a nonprofit impact investment fund. I designed online learning experiences for a global community of social innovators.

Currently, I’m pursuing an MPH at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I also have degrees in international relations and economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and the University of Virginia.

I started my career as a consultant for the World Bank, where I wrote publications and digital content for programs focused on entrepreneurship and climate resilience.

My interest in education and cultural exchange is rooted in my experience as a Mandarin Chinese language student and later a Fulbright grantee in Taiwan.

Outside of work, I study pottery and woodworking at community studios in San Francisco.
