With over 10 years of experience in Human Resources, Community and Operations, I’ve worked across both large corporations and fast-growing startups. As a certified Sustainability Practitioner and DEI Practitioner, my focus has shifted towards understanding how businesses can drive sustainability and social impact, fostering positive change on a global scale while maintaining the close knit community feel.

As a co-founder of ProudZone, I am taking on the main role of Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and filling in the Chief Operations Officer (COO) roles as we work to build a virtual platform that enables LGBTQ+ individuals around the world to network, share resources, and help their community escape persecution.

Inspired by my passion for inclusion and sustainability, ProudZone is my commitment to creating a space where business can be a powerful force for good. My core values and promise to the queer community align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). ProudZone WILL be a defining moment for the community and step by step we will a world where we are all valued for who we are and what we can accomplish.
