Speaker Bio
With nearly 14 years in communications, DEI, and employee experience, I help companies find their voice - especially when the stakes are high.I’ve guided Fortune 500 companies and mission-driven organizations through moments that require trust, empathy, and strategic clarity. I’ve conducted workplace communication and culture audits, advised on employee experience, built inclusive leadership trainings, managed complex crisis responses, and helped clients like Microsoft, Starbucks, Chanel, ESPN, Tencent, and Lilly strengthen their cultures and share their stories in ways that reflect their values - not just their policies.I was named one of the Los Angeles Business Journal’s DEI Executives of the Year for driving enterprise-wide transformations and delivering measurable culture strategies.Alongside my corporate work, I received a Grammy certificate for my background vocals on TajMo, which won Best Contemporary Blues Album of the Year. Creativity and storytelling have always shaped how I lead - whether in a meeting room or behind a microphone.I believe the best communicators are also great listeners. The best cultures are built, not bought. And sometimes the right message - delivered at the right time - can change everything. Let’s connect if you're looking for a partner in comms, culture, and transformation who brings strategy, precision, and soul.
