What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? I manage the digital marketing and day-to-day operations of The Doe Fund’s communications department.

Learn more at doe.org/gala2020/ I hope to continue—in some small way—to make the world a more equitable place by advancing social, racial, and economic justice as a career.

How do you unwind from a busy day? These days, binge-watching shows I’ve already seen. It feels like every week of 2020 has brought a new crisis that upends the world, so it’s nice to return to something comfortable and familiar.

Last song/album that you purchased/downloaded? Lately I’ve been streaming a lot of “lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to”

One word to describe your work environment: Inspiring

Rules to live by in business: Believe in the work you do.

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead, but not related to you) who would it be and where would you go? Jack Kirby, to one of the legendary NYC pizza places on my bucket list like Juliana’s or L&B Spumoni Gardens.
