I believe we can change the world, and that everything we need to make that change is within us already.
I started volunteering with nonprofits and mutual aid efforts as a child, and my interest in being part of supporting my community and changing the systems around us never stopped. Today, I have the privilege of serving as NTEN’s CEO, supporting our work and a diverse community of folks putting technology to work for social impact across the US and beyond.
The technology sector and the nonprofit sector are both rife with inequities, white supremacy culture, and the perpetuation of racism. And, we can change it. But doing so will take intentional collective work. I am personally committed to the lifelong every day work of antiracism towards collective liberation.
I love connecting with and learning with other folks working at the intersections of racial equity, technology, and social impact. I am white, queer, and nonbinary, with chronic illness and disability; I prioritize requests for my time in resource sharing to and supporting of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and other leaders who experience oppression in this work. If I have a contact or resource that can benefit your work, let me know!
