About

My work has taken me through very different environments, but there has been a consistent thread running through all of it.

I grew up working in my family’s catering business, which served tens of thousands of people each year. I later founded a venture backed technology startup and eventually spent several years in the nonprofit world as a Development Director, Major Gifts Officer, and Grant Writer.

Across those spaces I began to understand what that thread was.

When people gather, something meaningful is usually supposed to happen. Alignment, trust, generosity, decisions, healing, you name it. Yet most gatherings are organized around information. People leave having heard things but not having experienced something together.

I help groups genuinely engage with one another.

As a Guide and Experience Designer, I design facilitated experiences that restore balance, belonging, and connection within groups. I also teach organizations and facilitators how to carry this work themselves.

These experiences are used for retreats, funder gatherings, customer communities, leadership meetings, and other gatherings where the quality of interaction matters.
