Summary
Passionate about storytelling, creativity, and human connection, I bring a background in writing—both fiction and nonfiction—alongside hands-on experience in leadership, safety, and collaborative innovation. I've developed strong interpersonal, crisis management, and conflict resolution skills while supporting diverse communities. I've helped design AI-assisted games, stories, and art projects. I thrive in environments that blend empathy, communication, creativity, and I’m driven by opportunities to connect with others and contribute meaningfully to collaborative work.
