Career Story
With more than 15 years shaping stories and strategy, I’m now weaving systems thinking, creative intelligence, and meaningful insight into my work. I'm especially curious about the intersection of digital change, social impact, and the future of work and wellbeing. I love strategic, cross-functional roles that combine content leadership with grounded execution. I thrive in complexity, where I can dive beneath the surface and influence direction by asking better questions and holding nuanced space.
