Atheist, Connector, Event planner, Foodie, Jewish, Parent, Producer, World traveler

As Director of Event Production for Skoll Foundation, I am responsible for the overall delegate experience at Skoll Convenings, including the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, UK. Through my work, I strive every day to help connect and celebrate the dynamic community of social entrepreneurs and innovators dedicated to solving the world’s most pressing problems.

I'm passionate about bringing people together into a shared community and connecting others through networking events, convenings, and one-on-one conversations. Through my work at the Skoll Foundation, I'm able bring that passion directly to my career. No doubt like many of you, I'm also passionate about food and believe strongly that sharing a meal can be the best recipe for emotional connection. And I have a new sports passion that I love to talk about: Pickleball!

We have the privilege of having Pat Mitchell on our Board at the Skoll Foundation, and an ongoing partnership with TED that is very special to our organization.
