. Speaking.

One of the greatest privileges of my journey is sharing the core lessons, strategies, and guiding values I’ve refined with rooms of students, professionals and leaders. Some topics I often speak on either as a keynote or a workshop:

  • Social Entrepreneurship: From Ideation to Scaling
  • Telling Your Leadership Story
  • Leadership Through The Lens Of Jewish Values
  • Building a Sustainable Non-Profit In A Time of Great Change
  • How We Can End College Student Hunger

I have given over 100 talks on over 50 college campuses, SXSW, The United Nations, corporate keynotes and small community groups. Please reach out for my reel or to talk about a personalized speech.

. Consulting .

My goal is to help your organization focus on programs and strategies that lead to the most impact for those you serve.

  • Non-Profit Succession Planning
  • Fundraising Audit + Strategy

  • Effective Engagement Strategies for 17-35 years olds

CURRENT PROJECTS

Designing vision + strategy: I was brought on in February 2023 to work alongside the Jewish Funders Network and the Weinberg Foundation to engage 680 foundations and individual philanthropists in increasing their awareness of and funding around the under-the-radar issue of Jewish poverty. Nationally, one in five Jews is experiencing the effects of poverty. 

Culture + Scale: Legal Soft is a Los Angeles based start-up that has helped over 500 law firms scale their practices. I was brought on in January 2023 to help the company establish a more robust internal culture + communications as they grew to over 900 team members and support their scale by launching their five new global offices.

Founder and CEO Emeritus: From ages 18-30, I launched, grew and scaled Swipe Out Hunger, the largest nonprofit committed to ending college hunger. The organization has grown to 550 college campuses serving 5+ million meals. I wrote the Hunger Free Campus Act which has passed in six states sending over $100M to fund these programs. Most importantly, I successfully passed the baton in 2022, and the organization has only grown and strengthened since.
