My professional journey has been shaped by roles that center on bringing people together. For five years, I served as Director of Membership + Partnerships at The Collective Seattle, a social club and community hub designed to connect people around shared passions. There, I worked across departments to expand and develop the brand and community, forging connections in various sectors including technology, outdoor recreation, sports, entertainment, retail, food + beverage, travel, and media.
Prior to The Collective, I enjoyed positions with Gather Seattle and The Riveter. A formative chapter in luxury travel with TCS World Travel had me managing round-the-world trips by private jet, an experience that deepened my understanding of cross-cultural connections and human-centered experiences. These diverse roles have granted me the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of individuals and organizations, further fueling my curiosity about what ignites people's passions and drives their purpose.
With coaching, I'm drawn to supporting those who, like me, are navigating the beautiful complexity of non-linear paths. I believe life is too short not to seek out joy, find flow, and create extraordinary experiences – even if that means figuring it out as we go.
