About Me

The most fun thing I've done: Lived for a year in Brussels on a working holiday in 2017 as an au pair, learning what it truly means to take charge of responsibilities and care deeply about other human beings.

The most rewarding thing I've done: Traveled the world in 2024 aboard a 3,000-passenger ship with Peace Boat, delivering peace advocacy talks across 18 countries on four continents. Standing in front of diverse audiences from UN Headquarters in New York to community leaders in Central America.

The most persistent thing I've done: Applied and got rejected from over seven scholarship research programs before finally receiving two even though I was already halfway through my behavioral analysis research fellowship in Japan.

What I do Now: I turn messy program data into cost-effectiveness frameworks, predictive models, and grant strategies that help nonprofits prove impact and secure funding.
