What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine cultural strategy, community-building, and storytelling in mission-driven organizations with collaborative teams, opportunities to lead programs, and measurable impact on youth and communities.

I am a creative strategist, cultural curator, and community builder with global experience across North America, Africa, and Asia, focused on service, storytelling, and public engagement.

In education I’ve been rated "Highly Effective," led 3rd-grade teams, designed data-driven K–3 instruction, and revitalized extracurricular programs—growing a cheer program by 600% in three years while managing budgeting, safety, and fundraising.

I’ve produced public engagement campaigns, supported UNHCR external relations, consulted for creative businesses, and create digital content and events that connect brands, youth, and communities through strategic storytelling and stakeholder collaboration.
