General Manager

I grew up in San Francisco, and I've always been a curious and ambitious learner. I began my career in the NFP sector working in urban education programs focused on literacy for k-12 students. I shifted into edu-tech and learning innovation thinking about the next generation of learning and skills for young people. I've taken my ideas and my passion for developing a love for life long learning all around the world, and some of my biggest achievements include setting two world records with learners all across the globe, and speaking about my ideas and passion at events like TedXSydney and as keynote of PyCon education. I care about equity in education, tech for purpose and growing big ideas from 0 to 100. 

The Awesome Foundation is a global network of regular people funding awesome ideas through mini grants in their community or field of interest. I am a part of the Sydney chapter, where we fund and support ideas that make Sydney more Awesome. Through no strings attached funding, we give fledgling ideas that are quirky, wonderful and diverse an opportunity to thrive in our community.
