About

I thrive at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and community engagement. With experience spanning community engagement, social media marketing, talent management, content creation, customer experience, sports coaching, event hosting, tech sales and youth mentorship, I bring a diverse skill set and a collaborative, people-first approach to every role I take on. Currently, I'm looking for remote or hybrid opportunities where I can apply my skills in social media strategy, event coordination, customer experience, community management or another related position. My ideal role offers a dynamic, team-oriented environment, professional growth, and a strong company culture. Outside of work, I'm a music producer, athlete, nature enthusiast, language learner, and passionate traveler—always creating, exploring, and seeking opportunities to connect people through storytelling, and shared experiences. 📩 Let’s connect! Open to freelance, contract, and full-time opportunities.
