Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I'm a strategist, project manager, & writer on how technology cultivates connection. I prioritize joy, time on the mountains, and thinking about the future. 🌱🔮🌱 What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust, turn conversations into action, and treat my role's scope as expansive. Parallel to my career, I'm an event planner and snowboard instructor! Select projects available at https://chaoserena.lovable.app/ 🍁🏔️
At Cactus, I operate and launch 0->1 digital healthcare products (apps & websites).
In 2022 and 2023, I supported the staffing team to coordinate 300+ staff for TED's flagship event. In 2024, I supervised the Social Spaces team then returned as part of the team in 2026.
