“Working in financial services during the Great Recession, management consulting in the healthcare space during the initial deployment of the Affordable Care Act, and at a political committee rushing to establish itself during an unpredictable administration has given me a lens of understanding urgency in turbulent times, while being able to identify unique opportunities to thrive.”

“The team at Purple comes from such varied backgrounds, with a remarkable range of skills so that I never stop learning from my colleagues.”

“Harvey Milk famously said in his Hope Speech: ‘Unless you have dialogue, unless you open the walls of dialogue, you can never reach to change people’s opinion.’ I think this holds true no matter the topic, issue, or problem – different perspectives and conversations are the only way to drive long-lasting change in attitudes and viewpoints.”
