What do you most enjoy about the work you do?

I greatly enjoy learning about how people from all over the world harness the potential of technology to respond to local needs in innovative ways. I like that we are intentional about going beyond reporting, and rely on collaborative working strategies to arrive at reflection points that are empowering and contribute to a sense of ownership for the grantees.

Place in the world you’d love to visit?

For many years now I have wanted to travel to Bolivia, especially to Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt dessert. This place has some otherworldly landscapes and a unique, mirror-like property that creates an identical reflection of the landscape.
