Hey Baddies 👋🏾 I’m a community tech leader and creative technologist working at the intersection of tech, culture, and human-centered design. As a multidisciplinary creative, I blend AI with thoughtful UX strategy to help minority-owned brands elevate their presence with clarity and confidence. I wear a few hats — including quietly supporting our Discord community behind the scenes — but at my core, I’m here to build warm, intentional spaces where creatives feel seen, supported, and inspired.

I’m a highly skilled researcher and data-inspired change strategist who is passionate about providing communities with the necessary resources to use data to understand their individual and collective power. I leverage my mastery of monitoring and evaluation, systems thinking, and UX design for community and population-based program improvements. Over the last 5 years, I have supported the various teams and projects at Habitat for Humanity International to identify and measure change at the neighborhood level. My core competencies include evaluation, international relations, community development, and strategic planning. I specialize in working with communities and organizations to employ systems thinking to develop data and measurement systems to inform decision-making, program design, data analysis, and data visualization for storytelling. I hold a Master's in Developmental Practice from Emory University, a B.A. in International Relations and Foreign Policy from Hampshire College, and a Data Science and Analytics certification. When I am not using data for community improvement, I am traveling the world and eating my way through the places I visit.
