LINER NOTES
What people are saying.From the people who were in the room.
- Always in Beta
- Start with uncomfortable
- Push back with purpose
- People first
- When it's loud, go quiet
- Be delusional. Then execute
- Don't stop, pivot
- Little rooms, Big Ideas
The oldest daughter in an immigrant household. That shapes you.
It's just how I was raised.
I know how to muffle the noise. I know when to drop something and when to pivot. Push back doesn't mean confrontational. It means I care enough to know there's a better way, backed by 10 years of experience and pattern recognition.
Tethered to improving the world. Leaving it just a little changed from when I found it.

ABOUT
Classically
trained.Always building.
Classically trained painter. Studied Tourism and Hospitality Management, wanting to experience life through other people's eyes, food, & culture. Their way of moving through the world.
That's not a detour from where I am now. It's the foundation. Operational thinking. Human empathy. Visual results.
From municipal government to startups, luxury travel to live events, non-profits to experiential marketing. I didn't climb one ladder. I built across many.
Curiosity. Adaptability. Ideation.
10+ years later I'm still asking the same questions. Something is missing? What is it? How do I build it?
Operations Coordinator at TED Conferences. Event Manager at The MicDrop Agency. Visitor Services Specialist at Destination Vancouver, where I trained and quality-controlled a live AI chatbot. Most recently, built vendor logistics systems and automation across six festivals at MRG Live. Freelance product designer and creative strategist.
Originally from Toronto. When I'm not in front of a screen I'm at the ocean. I boulder. I make playlists. I call my parents. Life is short.
"I'm the right fit if you can coach and be coached."
