The Level One Project is focused on helping the public and private sectors develop pro-poor, digital financial services and markets that work for all. The goal is for every country in the world to have one inclusive, interconnected, digital economy. Everyone benefits from an economy that includes everyone. Yet today, billions of people—particularly in the world’s poorest countries—are excluded from a formal economy and miss out on the many advantages these financial systems offer.

Until recently, many teachers only got one word of feedback a year: "satisfactory." And with no feedback, no coaching, there's just no way to improve. Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback -- and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.

I noticed that far too many of these unions were in a house divided, and as a rabid alumni fan/alumni, I had to help bring some Cougar spirit into their kids’ education early.

In my spare time (*laughs*), I take on clients who are launching businesses and need a logo, brand identity, and someone who can help them develop the story for their brand. Sometimes these projects are simple logos. Other times they evolve into website design, social content, print collateral, and lasting client relationships. These are a few of the brands I am particularly proud of.

Sometimes the client or internal team, doesn’t know a good thing when they see it. Sometimes the brief changes and these get put on indefinite hold. Sometimes I’m too attached to my baby to let it go. This page is for all those killed ideas that should have made it farther.

Every day, AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers put their values into action to make a difference in communities where the need for change is the greatest. The AmeriCorps Values campaign takes a closer look at our individual members and volunteers, particularly the core values that led them to serve with AmeriCorps—values like equity, compassion, and hope. Throughout the campaign, we show how service with AmeriCorps compounds these individual values into something bigger: real, meaningful change for communities across the United States.

As part of an internal Publicis business development group for women called VivaWomen! I helped put together and design the 1st Annual Women Who Crush event. The event included a moderated panel of seriously badass women leaders, teachers, and entrepreneurs from the Seattle area, speaking out and smashing glass.

It all begins with an idea.

From cultural norms that stifle safe sex conversations to a lack of reproductive education and access to care, women in Missouri face immense barriers when trying to take control of their sexual health.

But every woman deserves the chance to build the life she wants. That’s why Power to Decide collaborated with the Missouri Foundation of Health to develop The Right Time—a six-year initiative that aims to increase women’s knowledge of birth control and encourage them to find the method that works for them.
