Scientist, Speaker, Futures Alchemist.
I help leaders and organizations reclaim critical capacities that disruption erodes: imagination, confidence, and agency.
My talks explore human-centered leadership, AI and culture, future of work, resilience, and how individuals and institutions can thrive in times of rapid change.
TURN DISRUPTION INTO YOUR NEXT DEFINING ADVANTAGE.
​I blend cognitive science, strategic foresight, and storytelling to help unlock breakthrough thinking, build adaptive advantage and design future-forward strategies. From keynotes to executive retreats, audiences leave not only inspired, but also equipped with practical tools for transformation.​​​​

FUTURE-BUILDING THROUGH CREATIVE DISRUPTION
Black History, White House
For BET
As a Senior Policy Advisor at the Obama White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), my portfolio included education technology, workforce training, and I also spearheaded a national initiative known as the “Image of STEM” project, which was listed in the top 100 S&T accomplishments of the Obama Administration.
Ada Twist In Real Life
I served as science consultant on Netflix's Ada Twist, Scientist, which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Preschool Animated Series. I was beyond honored to inspire the creation of a "Little Knatokie" character that appears in Season 4. Having a character based on a real-life Black woman scientist provides young viewers with a powerful connection between the fictional world and a relatable role model that can make STEM fields more accessible and appealing.
