I have a physics and aerospace engineering background and started a science education non-profit organization, Iridescent in 2006. Our goal is to bring the world's most cutting edge, science, engineering & technology to the world's most needy groups - especially girls. I am ambitious, energetic, focused and cannot be beaten down. I devote every waking minute to making this goal happen. Working in the non-profit world is not easy. Trying to inspire people to set high goals and achieve them is not easy. I do the following to help navigate these waters: 1. I constantly read, learn from others, implement best practices from the field and evaluate. 2. I am a firm believer in trying to find a better way to do things. 3. I also believe that intelligent, driven people are an organization's best asset. Get the best people on your team (for however long) and you will have a better chance of success. 4. I climb mountains and run long. 5. I work all the time and I love it!
