About

I am a results-driven professional with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a proven track record in marketing, sales, event planning, and lead generation. At Rippling, I manage trade shows and events across multiple teams, including HR, Channel, IT, and Startups/VCB. I plan and execute a wide range of experiences—sponsored events, owned activations, and virtual programs—handling everything from strategy and logistics to on-site execution and post-event follow-up. My role requires close cross-functional collaboration to ensure every event drives impact and aligns with broader business goals. I am also the Co-Founder of Funk-it, a sustainability-focused startup, where I lead social media, website operations, in-person swap events, while driving strategy for our upcoming app launch.
