I’m an interdisciplinary philanthropy strategist and program architect with 10+ years of experience across major gifts, international development and cultural policy. I’ve worked across sectors (academic, nonprofit, government, and grassroots) leading initiatives in fundraising, grantmaking, policy design, and field research. Currently, I serve as Director of Strategic Development at The Hellenic Center for Entheogenic Research, leading fundraising, institutional partnerships, and program strategy to advance clinical science, cultural heritage, and policy innovation in Greece. I also advise the Center for MINDS on donor strategy in the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted insight science. With academic grounding in development economics, cultural anthropology, ethnographic research, music, and psychotherapy, I bring a systems lens shaped by the humanities: bridging sectors and disciplines to align bold ideas with the capital and strategy they need to scale. My work builds bridges between vision and execution, grounding bold ideas in cultural depth, strategic clarity, and human connection

Since my days as an undergrad, I've had a commitment to service. While earning my BS in Earth Systems Science and Policy, I began working with farmworkers in the Salinas Valley in a program that helped individuals become independent, organic farmers. While I loved the environmental side of things, it was the human connection that resonated most with me, leading me to volunteer in the Peace Corps in Zambia. On my return, I worked with low-income and diverse adults in job training programs, in outreach, and in drug rehabilitation. In 2009, I began working as a therapist and earning my doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). Since then I’ve worked in the schools, in community clinics with children and adults, and provided therapy to seniors who could no longer leave their homes. I currently have my own full time private practice where I provide therapy to teens and adults, in addition to offering supervision to psychologists trainees and early career clinicians. I have an ongoing interest in psychodynamic psychotherapy. To this end I regularly engage in consultation, and I supervise, read, and write about psychotherapy. I’m also the Managing Editor of Impulse, the monthly newsletter for the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
