Net Impact

Net Impact is an international nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire, educate, and equip individuals to use the power of business to create a more socially and environmentally sustainable world.

I started the University of San Francisco Undergraduate Chapter in the Fall of 2009. I am working to build a leadership team, monthly e-letter, website, and Google Social Change Event calendar with the goal of acting as the resource for sustainable clubs on campus. Our launch event focused on introducing social entrepreneurship to undergraduates.

Hub Bay Area

We’re a social enterprise with the ambition to inspire and support imaginative and enterprising initiatives for a better world. The Hub is a global community of people from every profession, background and culture working at ‘new frontiers’ to tackle the world’s most pressing social, cultural and environmental challenges.

In the summer of 2009 I interned with The Hub to launch the first U.S. location at the new LEED Platinum certified, David Brower Center in Berkeley. Much of my work involved community outreach to those interested in the concept of a co-work space and more importantly those starting a business or running a small organization. Additionally, I am helped coordinate the social media strategy in collaboration with a couple of other interns and consultants from The Presidio School of Management. You can check out some additional insights through the Public Sector Internship Program (PSIP) blog.

We’ve been working across four continents, and 12 cities to create places for people who change things. This is the ambition. We set out to create places that borrow from the best of a member’s club, an innovation agency, a serviced office and a think-tank to create a very different kind of innovation environment. Places with all the tools and trimmings needed to grow and develop new ventures. Places to access experience, knowledge, finance and markets. And above all, places for experience and encounter, full of diverse people doing amazing things. We call these places Hubs.

Quesada Gardens Initiative

We are building “community,” connecting across our differences, and strengthening local systems in the Bayview Hunters Point Neighborhood of San Francisco through strategies that have emerged from the grassroots: community and backyard gardens, public art projects, events, and more. We are 100% resident-led, and believe that communities should be allowed to define themselves. We also believe that we all have a responsibility to be involved in the life of the street where we live. There is nothing more valuable than informal groups and social networks, especially in challenging times.

I have been working with the Quesada Gardens Initiative since the summer of 2008 and again was connected through the PSIP program at USF. I worked to build a stand alone accounting system on Quickbooks to track accounts receivable and accounts payable, essentially keeping track of the multiple grants that are ongoing at any one time. Currently, I am continuing to act as the lead accounts manager and will soon begin work on a web re-design of their blog.
