Hey y’all, I’m Jaz! 👋🏾 I’m a design thinking, global health consulting, impact accelerating, and social enterprise founding hybrid-professional hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. 🍑 I graduated with Highest Honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology’s (GT) School of Design with a Bachelor’s of Science in Industrial Design as Stamps President's Scholar. Prior to graduation, I founded Wish for WASH, a social impact startup intended to bring innovation to sanitation after my senior design team was the first all-female team to win the GT InVenture Prize Competition for our invention of the SafiChoo toilet. 🚽 I have since led Wish for WASH in conducting iterative toilet innovation pilots and research in Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia and in the USA (Atlanta) all with a human-centered design, social inclusion and research lens. 🌎 I continued to pursue my passion by receiving my MSc in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine as a Rotary Global Grant Scholar and my MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School as Consortium Management and Social Enterprise fellow. 🎓 As a motivational and educational speaker, I have spoken on 130+ global stages - including as a TedxAtlanta and Women Deliver Power Stage Speaker - and have also been featured on 55+ media platforms including CNN Money, Inc., WIRED, Fast Company, and WSBTV. 📣 I have since founded the Hybrid Hype, a woman-owned global consulting firm, following a decade of doing diverse freelance work with various impact organizations - with scopes that span the United Nations’ 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Sustainable Development Goal targets- such as Common Group, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Toilet Board Coalition, Equilo, Atethemis, Population Services International (PSI) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). 👩🏾‍💻 And, as announced on Menstrual Health Day 2020 in Ms. Magazine, I co-created Period Futures, which is a playful project that seeks to spark curiosity and conversation around the future of periods.🎈 With a decade of various global health, social inclusion, and entrepreneurial experiences across 10 countries in research, communications, and management roles within the public, private, and social enterprise sectors, I identify as a social impact designer and storyteller who seeks to couple design thinking and business acumen with evidence-based science to build a more inclusive world because #everybodypoops. ⚡️ Let's chat about your story! 🙌🏾 (Honoring the time and rates listed here is important as this is a reflection of a shared commitment to racial and gender equity whereby the thought leadership and diverse lived experiences of Black and Native women are valued and appropriately compensated)
