I’m a business strategist with a background in public relations, marketing, and nonprofit leadership, dedicated to creating meaningful connections and driving impact. As Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of ProudZone, I focus on expanding our reach and ensuring LGBTQ+ individuals—especially those without safe access to community—have a space where they can connect, thrive, and be seen.
Throughout my career, I’ve led initiatives that amplify underrepresented voices, strengthen audience engagement, and create lasting change. I’ve worked with global organizations, developed data-driven communication strategies, and advised on campaigns that bring people together in powerful ways. My expertise lies in audience insights, brand psychology, and strategic storytelling—helping organizations and communities grow with purpose.
As an LGBTQ+ individual, this work is deeply personal. I know firsthand how important it is to feel a sense of belonging, and I’m committed to ensuring others never have to search for it alone. At ProudZone, I’m working alongside an incredible team to build something truly groundbreaking—a space designed to give LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, and organizations the visibility, support, and opportunities they deserve.
