Kellogg Foundation, where she conducted diligence on new investment opportunities, managed the investment pipeline, measured portfolio performance, and streamlined investment operations for the foundation’s Mission Driven Investments portfolio. As an investment associate at Illumen Capital, she also co-led fundraising efforts and analyzed fund managers at the intersection of impact, entrepreneurship, and technology.

Why I do this work:

As a product of the under-resourced Guam public school system and the daughter of a Montessorian, I understand the importance of investing in and operationalizing mechanisms that provide all students in America with the education they deserve. My public school education in Guam was unsafe and lacked the infrastructure to help my classmates reach their full potential. I do this work to ensure that the next generation of students have access to a safe and high-quality education.
