About Me

Where Strategy Meets Human Impact

I'm a social innovation strategist and digital architect with a relentless focus on building systems that grow — not just businesses, but communities and ecosystems.

With roots in community management and a track record spanning global pharma, consumer tech, SaaS, and social enterprise, I specialize in translating complex challenges into clear, executable strategies.

Fluent in French and Creole, I bring a cross-cultural lens to everything I do — from designing omnichannel patient journeys at AstraZeneca to advising emerging entrepreneurs through MicroMentor.

Based in Newark, Delaware. Building toward a more equitable, innovation-driven future.
