About Me

I'm a product manager and engineer working at the intersection of climate, data, and technology. I grew up in a small town in rural Virginia, studied chemical and biological engineering at Princeton, and have spent the years since doing work that tends to involve difficult problems in places most people don't think about.

Early in my career I spent several years in Latin America on sustainable development and climate work. At Princeton I led Engineers Without Borders' design and implementation of a gravity-fed water system for families in the Peruvian Andes. After graduating I continued that work in Argentina with Ingeniería Sin Fronteras, and then took up a Fulbright Research Fellowship in Brazil, researching solar energy and green hydrogen as a path to decarbonising off-grid Amazonian communities. That period was my first serious exposure to carbon and climate at a technical level, and it's the through-line that pulls through everything since.

I joined BeZero Carbon as its first employee: pre-seed, pre-revenue, pre-business model. Job titles were fuzzy and the work was whatever needed doing. I wore many hats across decarbonisation consulting, research, innovation, and product, and stayed through the company's growth from an early idea into the leading ratings agency for the voluntary carbon market. Over that time I helped build the industry's first large-scale standardised dataset for carbon project data, and shipped interactive tools used by the world's largest carbon market participants. I'm Senior Data Product Manager there today, with the next chapter of my climate work already taking shape.

I've spent my career sitting at the interface: between technical complexity and commercial strategy, between engineering teams and the customers they're building for, between what gets shipped and the bigger story of why it matters. Most of what I do on a given day is translation. Business goals into a strategy for my team, strategy into requirements for engineers, and whatever we built back into value for the customer. In an AI era, that generalist posture is the skill I'm leaning into hardest.

I recently completed an MBA at Imperial College Business School, where I was awarded the prize for Best Overall Performance on the Weekend MBA Programme.
