I’m the founder of WeCare Impact, a creative studio and consulting firm that harnesses the power of arts, technology, and community to drive meaningful change. My mission is to reimagine how creativity and innovation can address global challenges and empower marginalized voices.
As the co-founder of Akashic, I’ve helped develop a decentralized platform preserving and funding the cultural heritage of refugees and displaced communities. I also serve as a Board Member and Venture Lead at Ankh Impact Ventures, advancing a new investment arm focused on the convergence of technology, culture, and the arts.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with organizations like the Chopra Foundation, MEMRI AI, the World Bank, and the United Nations, contributing to innovative solutions for global challenges. I’ve also shared my vision on global stages such as Davos, Art Basel, EthCC, Climate Week NYC, UPB Medellín, and the Bhutan Innovation Forum, inspiring conversations on creativity and technology’s role in shaping a more equitable future.
My work has been recognized globally. I’ve been honored as a World Visionary Leader in Tech (2023) and named among Women Accelerating Progress in AI (2024), Most Empowering Women Leaders in AI (2024), and the Top 16 Influential Women in the NFT Space. Additionally, I’ve been featured in the 40 Under 40 list for my leadership in technology and social entrepreneurship.
Having lived and worked across six countries on three continents and traveled to over 50, I bring a global perspective to my work. Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, and conversational in Portuguese, I thrive in connecting diverse communities and fostering collaboration.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I’m a dedicated yogi and trained Shaolin Kungfu martial artist—practices that bring balance and discipline to my life. My passion for art and philosophy fuels my creativity and inspires my approach to meaningful change.
