Applicant Summary including why interested in applying for a GG20 Community Council member position:
I am a core team member of The GreenPill Network and help co-create and facilitate various trainings both online and in real life to help people learn how to use crypto-focused regenerative tooling (grants stack, retropgf, giveth, DAO tooling, etc.). I am a DAO contributor and community builder with experience in governance systems and network development. With over 8 years of experience as a coach and business consultant, I bring a lot of entrepreneurial experience and work ethic to what I do.
Involvement in Gitcoin Grants community or prior initiatives:
I am actively engaged in the Gitcoin forum and community. I am a round operator and co-created/facilitated the Grants Stack Round Manager Training, which had 50+ trainees (many of whom are now running their own community rounds) https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/announcing-the-launch-of-round-managers-training-pilot-cohort/16724
Currently, I am co-creating/facilitating the EasyRetroPGF training (60+ trainees) https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/easyretropgf-xyz-training-program-pilot-cohort-1/17444
I helped with the GPN-Hypercerts-Grants Stack - experiment https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/lessons-from-greenpill-networks-hypercerts-impact-funding-experiment/17257.
I was also an active contributor to starting Quadratic Friends (a group that supported onboarding and highlighting different education/community-focused projects during gg15) and helped create onboarding resources for first-time grantees, donors (Gitcoin Passport), and how to get funds onto an L2 to donate. As well, I have been a grantee with GPN, + Ottawa GreenPillxRootedLABs.
Prior experience in either Grants or Delegate Programs, respectively:
I am an Unlock Protocol DAO delegate, Optimism delegate, and also a new member of Octant’s governance (and helping craft its structure). I have operated multiple community rounds as a rounds operator, including spearing heading raising funds for them. Furthermore, I have 6 years of experience in the nonprofit/fundraising world.
Any anticipated conflicts of interest:
I am a part of The GreenPill Network, which has run past community rounds. However, we will be running our round prior to GG20. If elected for future rounds, I would abstain from voting on anything related to GPN.
