About me
As a dynamic and motivated business leader, I thrive in helping companies create order out of chaos enabling them to stand out from the crowd. My background is a fusion of project and program management, spanning the non-profit and small and mid-sized business sectors.
As an experience coordinator, I have focused on understanding my customer's needs, putting them in an environment where they can achieve their full potential. I am drawn to serve people who push themselves outside of their comfort zone into unknown territory. It is my goal to be a calming voice to say "yes, let's do this."
In my other life I am a passionate cook. Being an extroverted introvert can be confusing. Food is a common language that we all share. It's an opportunity to get lost in the task of creating something while still building and serving a community.
