Non-Profit Leader - Philosopher - Educator
My work connects research and public service. I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Washington, where I teach. My teaching and research explore the public humanities, human reasoning, and artificial intelligence.
I’m a nonprofit leader with more than a decade of experience strengthening programs, developing strategic initiatives, and guiding organizations through change. I’m also open to interim and fractional leadership, consulting, and project-based work with nonprofits, foundations, and educational institutions. Let’s work together.
Leading at scale
At Humanities Washington, I led a team delivering programs and grants across all 39 Washington counties. Our work reached more than 250,000 people through partnerships with libraries, schools, universities, and community organizations.
Developing nationally recognized programs
I launched more than twenty original initiatives, including Cabin Fever Questions, winner of the national Schwartz Prize for outstanding humanities programming.
Turning strategy into impact
I founded and directed the Public Humanities Fellowship, bringing together funding, mentorship, and a nine-month learning program to help early-career humanists develop projects for underserved communities.
