What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead Web3 communications and community growth, align governance with GTM narratives, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale engaged ecosystems through storytelling and IRL-to-online activation.

I am a senior communications and marketing leader focused on Web3 ecosystem growth, community strategy, and narrative-driven brand positioning. With 5+ years in blockchain and Web3, I have driven measurable engagement, retention, and cross-chain collaboration through creator-led storytelling, governance-aligned campaigns, and developer engagement.

My work includes optimizing user interfaces and content strategies that increased engagement, revamping large communities to revive builder participation and sentiment, and leading IRL activations and campus initiatives that converted offline interest into sustained online communities. I bring journalism-rooted clarity to messaging, hands-on community architecture experience, and a proven track record of aligning product, governance, and go-to-market narratives.
