Massachusetts Institute of Technology

I am one of ten Inaugural Morningside Academy for Design Fellows and a Dean's Fellow at MIT Sloan. My most rewarding classes have been Storytelling, Having Tough Conversations, Negotiation and Dispute Resolution in the Public Sector, Innovative Ecosystems, Organizational Processes, Competitive Strategy, and Strategies for Social impact.

At MIT, I worked with Broad Community Connections, a local non-profit community & economic development organization in New Orleans, to map out neighborhoods experiencing heightened levels of displacement and mapping exact single-family unit homes that the non-profit could partner with to help protect black families' home ownership. I also worked with the Community Foundation for Greater Dubuque, conducting research to understand the challenges faced by immigrant employees and job seekers in Dubuque, Iowa, and identify how employers and local agencies can better support the success of immigrant employees. Lastly, I partnered with Big Sisters Boston to redesign their volunteer intake process to increase the number of Big Sisters who achieve a match status with a Little Sister.
