What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading community strategy and communications in mission-driven organizations where I can scale engagement, integrate community into product and marketing, and foster inclusive, trust-based ecosystems.

I am a customer-obsessed community and communications leader with 10+ years building, scaling, and managing global online communities. I design engagement programs, feedback loops, and moderation frameworks that turn users into thriving ecosystems, and I have led initiatives that grew communities from thousands to millions of members.

I have served as CMO, Head of Community, and advisor across agencies and product companies, delivering measurable marketing activations, crisis communications, and platform migrations. I combine cross-functional collaboration with data-driven insights to improve retention, product development, and go-to-market performance while championing inclusive communication and trust-based systems.
