Future
Seeking a role where I can bring my entrepreneurial approach, systems-building expertise, and commitment to equity to an organization working at the intersection of community development, ecosystem building, or social impact - ideally a professional nest I can sink into for the long term.
Present
Have lived in Montreal, Toronto, Boston, and now a town of 250 people - each place teaching me something different about community, power, and belonging.
Comfortable wearing new, odd, and many hats: operations manager, strategist, chef, program creator, facilitator, partner cultivator, systems builder, public speaker, educator.
Spend my days trying to heal myself + strengthen the connective tissue between people doing hard, important work.
