Building Connections & Creating Change
I am a passionate advocate for inclusion, equity, and meaningful behavioral change. With a background in psychology and an MBA, I’ve spent the past 13 years working in festivals and music venues, specializing in marketing, promotion, and talent buying. These roles allowed me to develop skills in strategic planning, communication, and building connections, all of which I’m now channeling into my new career path.
My professional journey has also included hands-on experience in behavioral health, working as a psych tech with children and adults, and managing programs that make a tangible difference in people’s lives. These experiences, combined with my dedication to advocacy and equity, have inspired me to pursue certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
I’m particularly interested in creating behavioral plans that empower individuals to achieve their goals and applying behavioral science to organizational management to foster healthier, more effective workplaces. My work is grounded in a commitment to listening, collaboration, and tailoring solutions to meet unique needs.
When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy expressing myself through writing and music, nourishing my body and mind with intentional practices, and spending time with my family in Durham, NC.
Let’s connect if you share my passion for behavioral health, inclusion, or creating positive change in the world!
