I'm a people enthusiast, change agent, and passionate creative who finds energy in fostering change in the spaces I enter. As an award-winning HR leader and I/O Psychologist, I implement insights at the intersection of employee mental health, culture, identity, and work to develop psychological safety and healthy productivity within the workplace. I focus on creating inclusive environments that link individual drivers to business goals, enhancing organizational effectiveness by designing operational efficiencies, and coaching executives, leaders, and the next multidimensional generation. My experience spans across industries, including tech, media, healthcare, and emerging sectors. Through my work as a behavioral researcher and founder of The Creative Corporate, I coach, consult, and mentor underrepresented and transitioning talent to help them create healthy and meaningful careers. My intrinsic curiosity and diverse experiences drive me to continue cultivating environments of positive change while considering the whole person, not just the one who shows up to work.
