About

Events & Experiences | Culture & Community | AI for Impact I love events. Like, deeply. I’ve spent years building experiences across tech, community, and wellness — from global in-person summits to virtual webinars designed to make people feel something real. I build event programs that take chaos to clarity and ideas to momentum. My work lives at the intersection of events, storytelling, and technology. I’m endlessly curious about how AI can support more human, emotionally intelligent experiences — ones that don’t just earn attendance but inspire connection. Beyond Ashby, I am building The Return Trip, a creative wellness project blending travel, healing, and self-reinvention. Whether I’m designing a summit or mapping a soul-aligned itinerary, the mission is the same: intention, empathy, and room for meaning. Bilingual/native proficiency in English & French.
