    House of Genius brings together entrepreneurs and a diverse mix of collaborators from the community for an evening each month of disruptive thinking, supportive input, and creative new ideas. We bring together individuals from all walks of life and all kinds of backgrounds, strip them of their titles for the night, and encourage them to collaborate and interact with one another without qualifying who they are or what they do. This makes for an incredibly impactful and honest environment where ideas are shared, debated, traded, and built upon without weight being put on someone's title or experience.

    Having served as a panelist curator, presenter curator, event organizer, and moderator starting in January of 2014, I served as the City Director for New York City from April of 2018 to June 2019. (http://houseofgenius.org/location/manhattan/).
