I take pride in creating exceptional employee experiences, fostering inclusive cultures, and streamlining

I’ve also had the privilege of planning and executing 25+ events, ranging from corporate meetups to large-scale retreats, all while ensuring seamless logistics and memorable experiences for attendees. I’m passionate about using data and relationship to create environments where employees feel valued and empowered to grow.
