I work to cultivate harmony
empowering the creation of balanced, beautiful solutions
and hope is often the byproduct
Product
Making insights both accessible and actionable

a geovisualization product for teachers and students to use in the classroom
an account platform powering personalized experiences for grantees, educators and donors
an education resources hub for teachers to empower next-gen planetary stewards
a conservation intelligence platform for protected area managers, scientists and communities
an internal map policy platform for staff, storytellers and partners
an interactive map & directory of grantees for talent management and collaboration
interactive citizen science maps integrating data to communicate impact
Planet
Solving problems at scale, from the international to the interpersonal
My background in geospatial technologies (GIS) and human-centered research led me to becoming a Product Manager, where I lead teams to utilize quantitative and qualitative insights when designing and iterating on solutions to complex problems.
I launched my business Kaviat, blending my technical background with my graduate research, to further inclusive solutions to interconnected issues & collaborate with conservation, education and community partners around the globe.
People
Seeing things from different points of view and determining which perspectives are missing
As a certified mediator with a Master’s in Conflict Resolution, cross-cultural team-building, multi-stakeholder collaboration and inclusion are both my skillset and my values set.
I have particular experience building solutions that address the unique needs & perspectives of:
Women & Girls
Conservation Leaders & Community Members
Data Scientists & Decision Makers
Educators & Learners
Funders & Funding Seekers
I work with teams to help them form greater empathy and understanding of the people they serve and facilitate meaningful inclusion and engagement of all stakeholders at the table.
Poetry & Prose
Penning field-notes on inner and outer landscapes
I am a writer at heart and have authored my own book while traveling around the world.
But I’m especially passionate about helping women tell their story.
And sometimes I write little poems during my morning walks in nature—Mary Oliver style.
