I'm the Branding + Editorial Manager for TEDx, an initiative of TED, which lets individuals around the world host TED-like events to highlight the amazing voices from their community.

I manage the branding/positioning of TEDx events, and TEDx editorial. I work to provide internal resources to organizers and strategize on how to sustainably grow our global community.

I also share the amazing stories, talks and images from these events on the TEDx Tumblr

Before that, I ran Pie in the Park, a yearly event in Prospect Park, published a book through a Kickstarter campaign, hosted a pie event in collaboration with Kickstarter at Smorgasburg in Williamsburg. I directed the creation of the Doyle & Doyle e-commerce website and built a marketing + communications strategy to go with it.

I'm interested in the local on a global scale, community building, and how new technologies and new media can make that easier.

I love learning, yoga, reading and travel.

I'm American, je parle Francais et eu estou aprendando portugues.

“Brazil is perhaps the best current example of how a state-capitalist system can build innovative industries. Successive Brazilian governments have intervened—with incentives, loans, and subsidies—to promote industries that otherwise would have needed long-term private investment to make them competitive with U.S. and European rivals.”
