A program manager at MassCEC supporting early-stage startups and research in climate tech. My background is in design and entrepreneurship, and I've founded the DTC brand, Boyfriend. Passionate about climate-focused innovation, I received the David A. Alexander Award for Social Consciousness for my related work.
