Creative Project & Team Lead
I am on a mission to (re)create meaningful connections with the world around us, with one another, and with ourselves.
I have 10 years of experience in purpose-driven businesses across media, education and technology, initiating and leading events, community programs, and producing high-quality media.
I help entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses turn their big, bold ideas into clear, digestible projects and lead their teams to success.
See my previous roles and education on LinkedIn.
Strengths
Systems that hold under pressure — I design the playbooks, timelines, and operational backbone that let ambitious ideas survive contact with reality.
Trust as infrastructure — I build the relationships — with clients, partners, teams — that turn one-off projects into lasting collaborations.
The architecture behind the experience — I design events, gatherings, and projects, then build the systems that carry them from idea to reality.
