I am a community builder.Nothing provides me more joy than bringing people together, celebrating our differences and connecting. You will find me quickly discerning the lines of commonality in a packed meeting space and knowing that those two people will be better off with a proper introduction. Deepening relationships and cross-pollinating people whose paths should cross is my superpower. With 20+ years of experience in corporate, consulting, immersive technology, nonprofit, and community development, I have a track record of driving innovative digital transformations for clients including REI, IHG, AT&T, Liz Claiborne, IBM/Weather Channel, Porsche, Change.org, and the UPS Foundation. My insatiable curiosity moves people and projects, beyond the obvious. By utilizing my strong, experiential acumen, I create and produce thoughtful, engaging experiences online, in the Multiverse, and in real life. I’ve gained in-depth insight into the public benefit corp mindset of the marriage of purpose, people, and profit. Throughout my career, I have taken the role of cruise director, cheerleader, party planner and people connector - although those titles will not be found on my profile. I have built healthy and thriving cultures that empowered, engaged and retained top talent by applying a unique transparent management style. Outside of my work, I am an avid cyclist, a member of the Invest Atlanta Creative Industries Fund Advisory Board, and a founding member of Women in XR Atlanta. I am a sought-after speaker appearing at conferences such as SXSW, PRSA, Social Fresh, and WIT.
