I am an award winning Kultural Strategist, mentor, and global learning advocate with a passion for languages, culture, and international experiences. My interests span travel, design, dance, food, fashion, and education, all rooted in a deep appreciation for the connections we share across cultures.

My love for languages and cultural exchange led me to study abroad in Spain, Mexico, and Brazil. These global experiences shaped my global perspective and inspired my professional path in international marketing, branding, and global education. Today, as a Kultural Strategist, I leverage this background to design inclusive, data-informed strategies that expand access to global learning and foster meaningful cross-cultural engagement to transform organizational cultures.

Known for leading through complexity and change, I partner with stakeholders to align people and processes, strengthen engagement, and deliver equity-centered solutions tied to business and mission-driven goals. My work integrates learning strategy, change management, and equity practices to advance access, accountability, and belonging.

As a Board Member of the Global Respectful Disruption Initiative, I’m proud to empower individuals through mentorship, community engagement, and financial support to inspire and engage with rising innovative global respectful disruptors. 

I am the creator of Kultural Kurators, a platform that challenges limiting narratives by highlighting people of color with diverse global perspectives and experiences.These transformative experiences not only impact individuals, but also positively influence the communities they are part of. I invite you to explore, learn, and grow with me on this kultural journey.
