Craft
Over fourteen years, I've balanced the roles of product manager, designer, and engineer, including seven years spent leading and growing teams as a director. In addition to leadership, I'm almost always hacking on my own stuff.
Trajectory
I was born and raised in the USA. After studying the arts at Brown and Sotheby’s, I joined Kickstarter to help creators bring their ideas to life. When I moved to France, I joined OpenClassrooms to scale access to education. As an immigrant in France, I contributed to Réfugiés.info to support those navigating new beginnings. Most personally, after the public healthcare system at Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) saved my child’s life, I dedicated my product expertise to the Paris public hospitals that serve us all.
I'm now a dual citizen (USA - France) and am bilingual in English and French.
Present
I'm the founder and president of La Fabrique Civile. We are a civic tech nonprofit that builds tools for the public good, addressing the critical needs that often fall between the gaps of the state and the market. I'm also completing an Executive MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at HEC Paris.
Causes
I volunteer monthly for the nonprofit L’Envol, leading art workshops for children in Paris pediatric wards. I donate to Le Rire Médecin, Association Laurette Fugain, Sea Shepard, Cœur de Forêt, and L214.
