I was born and raised in New York City and currently live in Brooklyn. I studied Communications and hold a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in race relations. I have worked in numerous industries including finance, media, tech, entertainment and consumer packaged goods.  I have become proficient in numerous skill sets from leadership to sales, marketing, strategy, product development and finance. Additionally, I have founded and headed up my own businesses as well as consulted for many other SMBs. My latest project allows me to take much of what I have learned along the way and apply it to a B Corp, for purpose project I aptly named MPOWERD.  I founded this CPG company with a focus on delivering clean energy to the 3b people who live with intermittent or no access to the grid at all. Through robust developed world sales, we are able to reduce margins and sell at affordable localized prices in emerging markets. I truly believe we are all a part of the whole – in other words, what we do impacts everyone and everything around us. We have an inherent responsibility and opportunity to improve our society as well as our planet.
