About.

I’m particularly interested in how individuals and organizations operate under pressure—when decisions must be made before all variables are known, and when the consequences of those decisions extend beyond the immediate moment.

Working at the intersection of policy, leadership, and public narrative, with a focus on how individuals and organizations navigate complexity both within institutions and in the environments around them. 
Alongside advisory work, I am the co-founder of Opn CoLabs, an initiative exploring new approaches to collaborative problem-solving and idea development.
The platform reflects many of the same questions that shape my broader work—how ideas evolve, how people engage with them, and how meaningful progress takes shape over time.

Approach.

At its core, my work is about helping individuals and organizations move forward with intention—especially in situations where speed is required, but direction cannot be compromised.
❋  Across my work, I operate in environments where time, clarity, and alignment are often constrained. This requires the ability to assess situations quickly, identify what matters most, and move from ambiguity to structured action without over-reliance on perfect information.

❋ My approach is grounded in making decisions that hold up beyond the immediate moment. That means evaluating tradeoffs directly—understanding what should be prioritized, what should be set aside, and how short-term actions shape longer-term positioning, credibility, and outcomes.
❋ I place particular emphasis on clarity and ownership. Decisions are not only made, but articulated—so that stakeholders understand the reasoning behind them and can align accordingly. This includes navigating competing perspectives, institutional constraints, and the broader context in which those decisions will be interpreted.

Education.

My academic work has focused on organizational behavior, negotiation, and decision-making. At Harvard University, I completed a graduate degree in industrial-organizational psychology and served as a teaching assistant in Negotiation and Organizational Conflict Resolution.

I have also contributed to academic work in the field of organizational behavior, supporting research connected to Dr. Lee Bolman and the development of updated frameworks on leadership and organizational theory.

This training has shaped how I approach organizations—understanding not just structures and incentives, but the human dynamics that influence how decisions are made and sustained.

Experience.

I’ve worked on issues spanning both domestic and international contexts, including exposure to public affairs and crisis communications environments. This has included supporting work tied to political figures and policy-facing initiatives where messaging, timing, and stakeholder awareness were critical.

Earlier in my career, I advised nonprofit and advocacy organizations on strategy, communications, and stakeholder engagement, often at the intersection of public narrative, organizational structure, and long-term positioning.
