About

I bring a background spanning business, entertainment, and food and beverage, with a focus on creating experiences that foster genuine connection. Whether coordinating events, supporting operations, or working directly with clients, I care deeply about delivering thoughtful, high-quality experiences that feel both seamless and meaningful. I’m especially passionate about supporting local communities and helping bring authentic ideas to life. With international experience living and working abroad, I thrive in diverse cultural environments and adapt quickly to new teams and challenges. I’m trilingual in English, Spanish, and French, and I value clear communication, curiosity, and collaboration in everything I do.
