| about me = I come to the Wikimedia movement with a passion for strategic and high-impact grantmaking, collaborative work, and transparent decision-making. My background includes philanthropic activities and [[w:Non-governmental organization|NGO]] programs, systems, and operations. I spent four years at CARE International with the [[w:ECB Project|Emergency Capacity Building Project]], a collaboration between six of the largest NGOs working to improve humanitarian response. There, I led the knowledge management and learning portfolio and focused on increasing accountability to disaster-affected people. Prior to that, I worked for several years at the Global Fund for Children, managing the Eastern Europe and US grants and capacity building initiatives. Over the years, I have developed and served on a number of creative grantmaking programs, including a [[w:giving circle|giving circle]] and several local, regional and national grants panels.

I have lived, worked, and traveled in about 40 countries, and speak Spanish and Portuguese and (hopefully) 'good enough' French. If needed, I always have a team building activity or an [[w:icebreaker (facilitation)|icebreaker]] ready to share.
