Event Curator/Commmunity Builder
About Me
I’m a storyteller at heart and a community curator in practice. I’m passionate about creating third spaces where I’d build creative communities and uplift small businesses. I’ve dedicated myself to organizing events, supporting local creatives, and bringing people together in ways that feel intentional and meaningful. I always aim to create experience to connect, foster, and grow collaboration and ideas.
