Transformation Through Art, Leadership, and Strategy
Wrapping Up 2024: A Year of Transformation Through Art, Leadership, and Strategy
As 2024 winds down, I’ve reflected on the incredible journey this year has been. It’s been a year of creation, collaboration, rest and exploration—a year where I leaned into the unknown searching for how I wanted to contribute, embraced transition, and took a sabbatical to recharge and reimagine my path forward.
This year has reaffirmed my belief in the power of art, leadership, and strategy to spark meaningful change. And I couldn’t have done it without YOU—my collaborators, supporters, and community.
🎨 Creative Highlights:
- Students Rebuild #studentsrebuild with the @Students Rebuild, Bezos Family Foundation, Hansell Tierney and Creative Visions empowering global students to creatively address climate change and refugee issues. Tremendous partners and collaborators for art events including Choose Love, Solgaard Foundation, Little Amal and more.
- Curated artist collaborations and pop-up museum and events in sustainability with Benjamin Von Wong in Toronto at Arcadia Earth Toronto museum.
- Conducted workshops on themes like equality and innovation with the Chaya Foundation: Humanity is Equality, University of Washington, and the @Equity in Education Center.

-Creative workshops for clients and community celebrating changemakers, young people and art fostering innovation and inclusion.
🤝 Coaching & Strategy Highlights:
