Creating Impact Through Projects & Events

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

About

I’m passionate about building and delivering well-executed projects and events that bring people together in meaningful ways. At the core of my work is a simple belief: when people feel seen, supported, and valued, both culture and performance improve. I’m drawn to roles across project, account, and event management— where planning, execution, and relationship management come together. I’ve led and supported end-to-end projects across a wide range of settings, including large-scale events, corporate programming, and cross-functional operational projects. I’ve managed client accounts and stakeholder relationships in fast-paced environments, working closely with leadership, vendors, and internal teams to deliver strong results. Across everything I do, I focus on structure, clarity, and follow-through. Outside of work, I value balance—spending time with family and friends, traveling, working out, cold plunging, working on my home, watching films, enjoying my membership at the AGO, exploring new restaurants, and appreciating both city life and nature. My greatest personal achievement is getting sober in 2023, which continues to shape how I approach resilience, discipline, and self-awareness. If you work in projects, accounts, or events in a creative setting, I’d be happy to connect.
