MORE ABOUT ME
I create programs, events, and experiences that help people feel connected to their communities and excited to participate in the world around them. A big part of my work is figuring out how to make spaces feel welcoming, fun, creative, and easier for people to use and enjoy. I love bringing people together, solving problems, and turning big ideas into real things that make everyday life feel a little more magical. Sometimes that looks like organizing a huge community event, and sometimes it looks like creating a super-detailed flowchart to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
