I have over 20 years of experience in marketing, communications, and project management, with a focus on social media and community management.

I am a CIM Member and a lifelong learner, always eager to explore new trends, tools, and strategies in the digital space. I have a passion for sustainability and social impact, and I enjoy working with clients and colleagues who share this vision. I am also a proud geek, a dog lover, and a Wordle enthusiast.

Fun fact: I once slept through an earthquake in Japan.
