ABOUT ME
"So, Tell Me About Yourself"
First and foremost, thanks for checking out my website!
I'm a consistent pioneer of utilizing new formats for underrepresented audiences that result in revenue streams. I've a track record of building entrepreneurial endeavors via diverse global perspectives within bigger corporations. My aspirations and ideas measurably impact society.
​
In short, I'm all about the culture!
During my FREETIME (pun-intended), I'm a news and pop culture aficionado, avid world traveler, wannabe New York socialite, and meditation practitioner.
​
Once upon a time, I consistently updated a blog entitled “BUCKnaked” which featured my favorite happy hour spots in NYC. But, as you may have guessed it, COVID-19 hit. During the global pandemic, I found "Something Stronger".
