"My lived experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Uzbekistan has made it impossible for me to not work proactively to prevent further mismanagement of water and the devastating impact it has on people and the environment."

Water Experience

My career started in water policy and has evolved into a nexus perspective on water, sanitation and finance. To tackle these issues - create a financing environment that supports marginalized groups, notably women, to solve their water and sanitation needs - investigate, unpack and upend the social systems that are currently in operation that actively obstruct women from participating equally.
