Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Behavioural researcher turned social entrepreneur
I first learned of social entrepreneurship at Duke University, where I was researching the social forces influencing dishonesty under the guidance of Dan Ariely. I was ignited by the idea that business tools could be mobilized for social purposes. Upon earning my PhD, I moved to Vancouver, Canada, and connected with Brighter Investment. My role is to oversee our program implementation, and to help grow our Brighter Network of students, mentors, and employers.
