I have a background in events, marketing, and business management within the entertainment industry. I thrive in cultures that value integrity, hard work, learning, and development opportunities. I excel in project management and creating innovative solutions that elevate business. I believe teamwork makes the dream work.
I enjoy travelling and learning about cultures and people through food. I’m passionate about finding unique flavors and using cooking as a means of communicating and connecting. I can be found enjoying nature, going to museums, and cuddling with my kitty. I am honored to serve as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and represent a child in the foster care system.
