Hello!
Let’s get to know each other. I’ll go first.
I love sparking energy in people and getting them excited about big ideas.
For the past 10+ years, I have worked in marketing and partnerships for international companies and organizations. I am currently the Partnership Manager for two of Google’s Climate AI products. Before getting into the world of AI at Google, I held marketing leadership positions at medium-to-large nonprofits.
