It’s been my job to build communities since 2010.
I'm currently building community with...
Climate Frens
A community of friends supporting each other, collaborating together, and (soon) organizing as a DAO. I founded Climate Friends in 2021. We grew to a global community of 75+ members who contributed $1000+ to the community treasury by early 2022. Now, we’re learning web3 together and reorganizing as Climate Frens DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

Unlock Protocol
A community of developers and creators who own and govern Unlock Protocol — an open source web3 protocol for NFT-powered memberships. I led Unlock Inc’s community efforts for four months; now I’m a proud community member, project contributor, and, as an Unlock DAO token holder, active participant in protocol governance.

Climate Changemakers
A community of volunteers working to elect climate candidates and enact climate policy. I was an early community member, group session facilitator, and co-lead of the community squad during the organization’s growth from launch to non-profit incorporation.

SendGrid (Twilio)
A community of software developers and startup founders. I was the 6th employee and 1st marketing team member; then I created the Community (DevRel) program and built a team of 15, based in 8 cities on 4 continents. SendGrid grew to 250 employees during my tenure, IPO’d in 2017, and were acquired ($3B) by Twilio in 2019.
