At the $3B John Templeton Foundation, I manage the presentation of the Foundation’s stories through digital media—I produce the Templeton Ideas podcast, publish stories on the Templeton Ideas website, and create content for the Templeton Prize. My superpower is navigating the small details that make big ideas come to life. I’ve supported special initiatives on the Foundation’s Strategic Alliances and Templeton Prize teams in London, Los Angeles, Dublin, and NYC. Prior, I launched alumni engagement programs, wrote grants, and managed an alumni board at Temple University. I’m a proud AmeriCorps alumna and former board member of the Philadelphia AmeriCorps Alumni Board. I’m relentlessly curious about the world, especially about what all of us have in common. I enjoy exploring this through travel—I have solo backpacked 15 countries/3 continents. My favorite hike is Colca Canyon in Peru, one of the deepest canyons in the world. At home, I LOVE cooking, listening to podcasts, trying new restaurants, and reading. I’d love to hear what you are listening to, reading, or your next travel destination—let’s connect!
