Professional Expertise

Successfully designed and implemented transformative educational initiatives in public and private schools in the United States and Singapore.  Lead curriculum designer for NASA’s KidSat and CASDE initiatives.  Co-Founder of Founders Bootcamp the world's largest startup program for teenagers. Recognized as a Milken National Educator and Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. 

 I utilize the best practices in listening, problem solving and strategic planning to provide clients a balanced approach for addressing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of education and business development. I synthesize and cross-pollenate best practices from companies of different sizes and industries. My clients are individuals and small to mid-sized companies seeking transformational change by leveraging new technology or processes to solve a problem with significant financial, environmental or social impact. Having experiences across several industries, I'm able to leverage effective, but not readily apparent solutions from one industry to another.
