Over a decade of experience as an executive, consultant, and educator at corporate and non-profit organizations.

Comprehensive background in global travel and languages, community engagement, and translating complex ideas for disparate audiences.

Adept at facilitating collaboration across diverse stakeholder categories.

Socially savvy, situationally aware, and diplomatically astute, with an unfailingly even-tempered sense of humor.

I've gone from singing opera at Carnegie Hall, to developing business plans for multinational companies, to presenting keynote speeches at global media conferences--all while traveling the world, communicating in multiple languages, and managing million-dollar budgets (and the teams that spend them). Thriving in both startups and highly stratified organizations, I speak fluent "creative" while translating complex ideas from C-suite to community and managing cross-functional projects with external agencies.

  • Managing projects across Finance, Marketing, Corporate Responsibility, Legal, IT, UX, and external agencies.
