What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that leverages my expertise in content creation, training, and project management to drive meaningful change and promote mental health advocacy and education.

As a creative educator, content specialist, and facilitator, I design learning experiences that inspire connection, growth, and purpose. Drawing from over a decade of experience in writing, storytelling, and curriculum design, I craft engaging, inclusive content that resonates with diverse learners and encourages reflection, creativity, and collaboration.

Grounded in adult learning principles and guided by empathy, I blend multimedia, interactivity, and real-world application to make learning dynamic and impactful. My strengths in facilitation, project management, and community building allow me to partner effectively across teams—fostering engagement, cultivating awareness, and driving meaningful, lasting change.
