I've learned that every successful project, client partnership, and team has one thing in common: people who feel supported, heard, and equipped to do their best work. These are the effects of a quality leader, and that's the kind that's the kind of leader I strive to be.

As a Project Manager at Faceplant Creative, I lead client projects from onboarding through delivery and support the operations of a growing marketing agency. I connect teams, anticipate challenges, strengthen client relationships, and build systems that keep projects moving forward.

In 2015, I launched my photography business, combining my passion for creativity with my talent for capturing meaningful moments. As a small business owner, I have honed my skills in digital and verbal communication while managing client relationships and delivering exceptional results.  

Photography allows me to express creativity both behind the camera and in designing engaging content, such as website visuals. This experience not only fuels my artistic side but also enhances my ability to approach projects with an innovative mindset.  

I believe this entrepreneurial venture brings valuable skills to any organization, whether it's capturing professional employee headshots or documenting large-scale corporate events. My experience in balancing creativity with professional execution adds a unique dimension to my skill set, ready to support organizational goals. 

My thesis project was created to help teachers learn how to use different types of technology that can be implemented in classrooms for project-based or game-based learning. The website is a self-taught training and has the following:

• Topics teachers wanted to know more about for integration

• A video showing how to create one main example

• Step-by-step pictures of how to create the example

• 3-6 other examples for the topics

     In the spring of 2019, I achieved a lifelong dream by publishing my first book, Where Do I Call Home? A Third Culture Kid Story. This short story follows the journey of an American girl growing up in the Middle East, reflecting my own experiences as a Third Culture Kid (TCK).

The book was written to help fellow TCKs—and their family and friends—embrace and celebrate the unique challenges and joys of growing up in an international environment. Sharing this story has been one of my proudest accomplishments, as it provides representation and connection for a community close to my heart.

I am deeply moved by the excitement of children and adults who recognize their own experiences in the pages of my book. It’s an honor to contribute to their sense of belonging in the Third Culture world.
