Who Am I?
HI!
A human empowered to create a better world through the power of collectivity, love, and innovation. I specialize in developing transformative ideas through event production, forward-thinking strategy, project management, community building, and design.
At the core of my work is a commitment to ideating, strategizing, and facilitating human-centered experiences, events, and workshops rooted in empathy, learning, and change-making. My journey spans from managing multi-million dollar fundraising galas and high-profile luxury brand partnerships to leading design bootcamps with Indigenous tribes in South America.
Whether producing massive cultural events for thousands of attendees or designing intimate, immersive learning programs as an educator for schools, universities, and companies, I bridge high-stakes execution with deep community impact.
When I'm not designing and producing experiences, you can find me at the park with my daughter, sipping a Blue Bottle matcha, or finding inspiration in a jazz performance or music festival. I am also deeply passionate about sustainability and finding ways to live more consciously.
Changing the world is not a dream, is an act.
