About

I’m a strategist, storyteller, and creative committed to justice, culture, and connection. My work moves across global education, digital transformation, human rights, climate, and film—but at its core, it’s about telling stories that matter and elevating voices too often left out. I believe in the power of narrative to shift systems and the importance of protecting both people and culture. With roots in law and lived experience around the world, I bring curiosity, care, and clarity to everything I do. I sing, write, travel, and pair good wine with an even better convo.

ACADEMIA

I approach academia as a scholar and practitioner, focused on the intersections of law, cultural heritage, and global engagement. With degrees in international law and human rights, my research explores crimes of mass atrocity, more specifically, cultural genocide. I focus on how we define, protect, and preserve what makes us who we are. I’ve led global strategy and partnerships at public and private universities, launched international programs across Asia and the Middle East, and built systems that support cross-cultural learning and safety. My work seeks to make institutions more just, inclusive, and globally connected.

I’ve taught LSAT, GRE, and MCAT CARS prep, helping students build critical thinking and confidence under pressure. My approach blends strategy with encouragement, tailored to each learner’s unique strengths. I’ve also guest lectured and led life design workshops for college students navigating academic and career choices.

STRATEGY

My strategy work blends strategic thinking with creative storytelling to drive purpose and transformation. At BCG BrightHouse, I lead narrative strategy, helping organizations articulate their reason for being and embed it across internal culture, external messaging, and long-term vision. I specialize in AI learning and development, systems transitions, and translating complexity into clarity. From facilitating ideation sessions to managing multi-city film productions, I work across functions and geographies to bring bold ideas to life. My approach is rooted in purpose, guided by empathy, and shaped by lived experience.

CULTURE

Travel, food, and wine are where my curiosity, joy, and heritage converge. As a certified wine professional (WSET 2) and assistant manager at The Purple Corkscrew, I am passionate about connecting people to place, history, and culture. I plan meaningful, off-the-beaten-path travel experiences grounded in cultural immersion, sustainability, and storytelling. From Cairo to the Carolinas, I seek out flavors, rituals, and landscapes that tell a deeper story. Whether curating group trips or sharing wine knowledge, I bring people together through sensory experience and soul.
