She also leads the firm’s partnership with Him for Her, a non-profit focused on accelerating diversity on for-profit boards.

My work is like looking through a kaleidoscope every day. My job is to take all those conversations and synthesize them. I enjoy the broad learning from my day-to-day and am fulfilled by my impact on people’s lives.
