i grew up all over the world and spent much of my life trying to figure out who, what and why i was. I went to college thinking i was going to rule the world and came out deciding to change it instead. working with Ashoka Fellows, and then Ashoka itself, I have gotten totally mesmerized by the power of social entrepreneurship. i'm convinced that you can do good and do well at the same time. i'm also committed to figuring out how that business model will actually work. ashoka's influence, and especially bill's mentorship, has showed me that whatever it is i do, the idea has to be replicable and scalable, with the ability to completely transform the sector or geographic location.

animals, sustainable food, global change, the intersection of business and social, and most recently, hyper-local community building.

I want to be a part of a community of the most fascinating people in the world. After spending a lot of time on the periphery, learning about TED, the Fellows and the talks, I decided to jump into the mix. I am looking for peers and mentors, idea-buddies and fellow-global citizens who are not afraid to change the world.

CLUE, the board game.
