Bio

I am a global operations leader with over 20 years of experience turning around organizations and improving financial performance by influencing talent. I enjoy seeing the growth of people by hiring and building dynamic cross-functional teams while providing the right tools and training to ensure their success. I spent 18 years at American Express located in offices in New York, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Sydney. I have global experience in business transformation with a passion for organizational design and operational effectiveness through change management. I was born in South Carolina but grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I have a Master in Science in Management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I did my undergraduate work at Duke University with a concentration in International Studies. I have a passion for mentorship and providing advice for budding journeys.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Building Entrepreneurs

Build a consumer product using a design thinking framework. Identify a customer pain point and ideate until you find product market fit.

Project Management Execution

Build a set of tools to manage any project end-to-end from hypothesis statement to research to analysis to recommendations.

Teaching experience

I have mentored students as part of Yearup - an organization that looks to close the opportunity divide for low-income families by providing 6-months of training and then a 6-month internship at a Fortune 500 company. I took on 5 total college aged interns over the course of 3 years. As a supporter of the My Brother's Keeper initiative, I designed a curriculum akin to A Day in the Life Of.
