¿Quién soy?

I’m a child of the world, of a loving family, and of the ocean. Raised in seven countries, my worldview has always been influenced by my experiences across the glob.

With a career spanning venture capital, non-profit, startups, and the freelance world, I consider myself a generalist and do my best to bring a holistic approach to everything I do. Add to that my love of creating, my style imbues how I approach projects. My focus, of late, is content strategy and creation—as a collector of many memories from my travels, I now call myself a storyteller. You can see some of my work here.

Je parle français, y hablo español. Sueño en ambas idiomas, también.

¿Dónde estoy?

In March of 2019, I moved from San Francisco to Todos Santos, Mexico, to redefine my metrics of success and rediscover free time, a simple life, and community. The town of Todos Santos is an epicenter of manifesting dreams, making shit happen, a great community, and relishing the small wins of everyday life.

It was while living there that I got my truck stuck in the sand—at the start of a weekend of beach camping to seize some swell and get offline—and met my now husband. We moved to California, splitting our time between Mammoth Lakes and Oxnard, enjoying time in the mountains and by the sea. I was unable to travel while waiting for my visa, so we discovered the closest thing to the uncrowded Baja surf: the Channel Islands.

These days, we get to Mexico as often as we can, surf the Islands as much as swell and our schedules allow, and score powder days in between, while always getting a good walk in with our two dogs. I’ve continued writing, growing my portfolio of clients, and pushing my edge as a content creator.
