Philanthropy has the power to change lives—but only when purpose, strategy, and relationships align. For over 20 years, I have worked at the intersection of fundraising, public policy, and social innovation, helping philanthropists and organizations create lasting impact.

My career has been dedicated to connecting visionary donors with the bold ideas required to solve complex social challenges. I have partnered with leaders across the United States and India, notably establishing the U.S. philanthropic platform for the International Foundation for Social Impact and leading major gift initiatives for Pratham USA and the American India Foundation.

I am particularly passionate about the transformative role of women in philanthropy. As women gain unprecedented influence, they are reshaping the sector with collaborative leadership and fresh perspectives. I am committed to helping women philanthropists lead with confidence and redefine the future of giving.

Beyond private philanthropy, my background includes leading statewide economic mobility initiatives for the Washington State Department of Commerce and developing San Francisco’s nationally recognized Kindergarten to College program. These roles allowed me to bridge the gap between government, the private sector, and philanthropy to expand financial inclusion and opportunity.

Today, I advise philanthropists and nonprofit organizations on building transformational programs. I offer a unique blend of deep UHNW relationship capital, technical fluency in family governance, and a client-first fiduciary mindset. To further my expertise, I am currently pursuing an Impact Philanthropy Advisor certification.

My approach combines practical fundraising expertise with strategic philanthropic advising. I hold an MPA from the University of Washington and a BA n International Development and a minor in Women’s Studies from UCLA as well a certification in Sustainable Business Strategy from Harvard Business School. As a member of the India Philanthropic Advisors Network (IPAN), I stay connected to a community advancing strategic philanthropy across India and globally. I will be a certified Impact Philanthropy Advisor through the Daylight Philanthropy Advisor Program, further strengthening my expertise in donor advising, strategic philanthropy, and values-based giving.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: the most meaningful philanthropy begins with listening. My role is to help align purpose, capital, and partnerships to create change that endures.
