Social Entreprenuership
Helping entrepreneurs transform their work into sustainable ventures that create positive and measurable social change.
Program Director
More than ever, we need ideas. Ideas that do more than sustain a business model but solve a real societal problem or empower a community to improve their quality of life.
Sometimes, those ideas – even the great ones – don’t see the light of day because they don’t have the right connections, resources, or funding. My team and I work to help social-minded entrepreneurs overcome these issues, to inspire creative thinkers, and to help them plan, execute and sustain their missions.
The mission for Rally's social enterprise accelerator is to help local, national, and international entrepreneurs transform their early-stage work into sustainable ventures that create positive social change. A few times a year, we invite promising social
entrepreneurs in the early stage of developing their ventures to join our four-month social enterprise accelerator as Rally Fellows. During the program, Fellows receive mentorship, 1-on-1 coaching, the opportunity to earn a Future-Ready designation and receive a paid pilot from the City of Orlando, and access to critical networks and community that's designed to help them develop and/or validate their business and social model.
100+ fellows served, who have collectively raised over $12M in impact investment.
38% BIPOC and 45% women program participation.

Visiting Social Entrepreneur
The Stanford GSB Center for Social Innovation educates insightful leaders for social and environmental change. Their social innovation curriculum is part of a holistic social-innovation learning model that builds off of the management core curriculum and leverages academic frameworks, students’ and professionals’ experiences, and hands-on discovery. The center supports both tenure-line and adjunct faculty in developing courses that are grounded in the fundamentals of social innovation: impact measurement, human-centered design, systems thinking, and cross-sector approaches.
As a participant in The Stanford GSB Center for Social Innovation Visiting Entrepreneur Program during the 2021-2022 academic year, I assist the center by helping them inspire, educate, and shape students into the next generation of changemakers through various touchpoints, such as advising, speaking, fellowship judging panels, etc.
