I’m a bilingual social sector strategist and sociologist.

I spend my time thinking about how to develop smart, grounded strategy in social sector organizations and know when we’ve been successful. I’m fascinated by the intersection of culture, immigration, and social justice, and how we use organizations to create public good.

I received my Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University in 2020. My research focuses on nonprofit organizations and philanthropy in the United States and Mexico. I’ve been working in the nonprofit sector both locally and nationally for the last decade, in philanthropic, cultural, and immigrant-serving organizations.

As a crossover sociologist and practitioner, I have experience in both high-level strategy and grassroots community-based work, and a unique combination of rigorous qualitative and quantitative research skills, fieldwide knowledge, and on-the-ground experience in mission-driven organizations.

I am the author of How Consultants Shape Nonprofits: Shared Values, Unintended Consequences, now available via Stanford University Press and SSIR Books.
