Account Executive

I spent over 15 years working in marketing with, and for, some of the most creative and iconic brands all around the world.

But a few years ago, something changed.

It was all seemingly successful on paper, but inside I had become disconnected - from my work, and from myself. 

I had a deep and growing sense that I was here for more. 

Following my curiosity, I began an experiential dive into breathwork which quickly transformed my state of mind.

Through the process, it became clear that what energizes me most life is creativity and wellbeing (of both the human and planetary kind).

Seemingly separate worlds but I figured there had to be an overlap. Thankfully, the more I explored, the more I learned there was. 

There’s a deep connection between our internal state of consciousness, our ability to create, and our relationship with the natural world around us. 

It’s a big beautiful journey that starts inside our own mind. 

As a certified Flow State Facilitator and Breathwork Facilitator, today I offer transformative experiences and programs that teach teams how to access altered and optimal states of consciousness for creativity, wellbeing and performance.

Project Coordinator

Urban Sustainability Directors Network

I play a crucial role in supporting information exchange among USDN members by providing a variety of services to the network’s growing membership base. I manage systems to onboard and orient new communities and individuals to curated resources. I lead the logistics planning for several events for USDN membership, which has required dedication and attention to every detail.

Member Services Coordinator

The Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) is a peer-to-peer network of local government professionals from cities across the United States and Canada dedicated to creating a healthier environment, economic prosperity, and increased social equity. Our dynamic network enables sustainability directors and staff to share best practices and accelerate the application of good ideas across North America. 

My primary role at USDN has evolved from internal staff and network-wide calendar and scheduling management, to now coordinating member services by managing systems to onboard and orient new communities and individuals. I also assist with, and sometimes lead the logistical planning for in-person meetings before, during, and after the events.

USDN's membership represents 200+ communities, with direct impact to more than 90 million people. This growing demand has enabled me to work with countless communities directly to ensure their interest is tracked, manage membership dues processing, draft member onboarding materials, and lead the process for ensuring new members are integrated into USDN activities.
