A New York transplant from the UK with roots spread across Kenya, Cameroon, Nigeria and France, I am obsessive about the intersection of technology, development and opportunity in local and international contexts.

A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and MI have spent the last couple of years working with microfinance institution Kiva, Oakland-based youth hackathon incubator Qeyno Labs, the U.S. Department international mentorship program Techwomen, and most recently San Francisco developer Lennar Urban. With a background in journalism, I have also written for the San Francisco Chronicle and the Berkeley Political Review.
