How long have you worked at CAH?
I was brought on in September 2015.
What brought you to CAH?
I graduated from UNC with a variety of experience working with entrepreneurship education and startup support programs– both in the university setting and in the private sector. At the time I was doing marketing and recruiting for The Startup Factory, a tech accelerator that was integral in the development of Durham’s startup community. I was introduced to the CAH when they were launching the Startup Lab and needed someone to spearhead the project. I was intrigued by the possibility to build something from the ground up and that allowed me to play in the intersection of entrepreneurship and behavioral economics. It was a unique and exciting opportunity to explore supporting startups in the area of research application, and I jumped at it.
What is the primary focus of your research?
I don’t do research, I’m simply fortunate enough to work with a lot of smart and interesting people with such rich and various backgrounds! I am most interested in applying niche field expertise to entrepreneurship and setting up the world’s problem-solvers to be successful.
Your favorite experience while working at CAH?
I get to meet so many awesome people – local and international entrepreneurs, incredible academics, and tons of people doing interesting, impactful things in the Triangle’s robust and supportive startup ecosystem. I also love to create and this role has allowed me to piece together a curriculum around BE and entrepreneurship and write about what we’re learning as we build this quirky incubator program– it’s been a lot of fun to dig into and to see those materials have a meaningful influence in the development of budding startups.
If you weren’t a researcher, what career path would you have followed instead?
I’d like to think that in another life I would’ve been an art-school kid pursuing dance. There’s little more that feels as powerful and life-giving to me.
My friends– they’re everyday people doing amazing things and showing up in their lives with a lot of grace and courage. Their contributions to who I am are the best parts of me. They make my life rich.
In the extreme, any virtue can be unproductive. Patience is the worst…but only because I don’t have it.
Which BE related words or phrases do you most overuse?
The ability to externally process. The frustrated introvert in me thinks that would be useful.
I once performed in 26 pieces in a 50-piece dance recital. That 6 months of show prep was probably the hardest I’ve worked for something and the most fun I’ve had.
I’d like to think Eleanor Roosevelt and I would’ve gotten along. But I’d hate to be so presumptuous.
