As for the future, your task it not to foresee it, but to enable it.

About me

Pro-social change is the engine that drives my work: I've championed systems change through design, simplification, open data tools and open source software communities; shepherded new ecosystems of transformative thinking and processes; written and spoken nationally and internationally about civic tech, open source software, volunteer communities, open data, systems thinking, open badges, digital credentials, and edtech.

My work

In May 2020 I became Wikimedia Foundation's Senior Program Manager for the Communications Department. Since then I have become Manager of the Program Management Team.

My team and I work with and across the Communications Department's teams—Brand Studio, External Communications, Internal Communications, Movement Communications—to connect and collaborate with other departments and projects; to develop and document meaningful processes and timelines; to create and support internal and external roadmaps; and to proactively plan and communicate about the combined efforts of the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia, and the Movement to create a world in which every human can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge.

I couldn't be happier to work with the Foundation and the communities of individuals who work every day to make knowledge free.
