Driving performance through creativity and a passion for people.

 

About Me

I care deeply about the stories and journeys of others. I delight in seeing people become the best version of themselves while accomplishing their greatest achievements. I am committed and invested in organizational and team success. I care about details and expect nothing less than excellence from myself and my teammates, while maintaining an environment that is kind, honest, compassionate, safe, and fun. I integrate my vast experience, design thinking and creative methodologies to solve problems. As someone who wears many hats, values collaboration and loves people the way I do… leading with empathy as an organizational leader is one of my greatest passions.

Organizational Leadership

Using my experience, design thinking, technical skills, and soft skills to serve the greater community.

CMBI is an initiative I started for the purpose of generating economic growth for our city, specifically as it relates to the entertainment industry. This initiative was birthed out of compassion for people… people who aim to use their creativity to make a living and struggle to find a way to do so. Using UX Design thinking, I wanted to come up with a way to give intersecting creatives an opportunity to be trained, to network, to sharpen their skills, and become a professional in the entertainment industry.

With an aim to be inclusive, the first project created is a show called the Circle Session, which consists of discussions, a host, comedy sketches and musical performances, all filmed in front of a live audience.
