Fu

I lead policy and program teams working to build a more inclusive economy.

I've spent more than a decade advancing systems change through research, policy, philanthropic advising, and cross-sector collaboration. I've stewarded multi-million-dollar portfolios, managed cross-functional teams, and developed field-building resources that have been used by hundreds of thousands of people. For the last five years, I've worked at the Urban Institute's Research to Action Lab, where I lead projects advancing economic mobility, housing justice, and community ownership and control. Prior to joining Urban, I conducted quantitative research on the social safety net, the gig economy, and more at the California Policy Lab. My work has been cited by CNN, Bloomberg CityLab, The Hill, and other national outlets.

I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband, our daughter, and two large cats.
