Arts & Culture Communicator

As a trained linguist and media and communication expert who is endlessly enthusiastic about arts, culture, and community, I’ll create your content and tell engaging stories with a sense of value, style, and connection.

I enjoy anything “green”: plant-based food, sustainability reports, Hildegard von Bingen’s viriditas concept, and Kawasaki motorcycles.

I’m inspired by collage art, German Expressionism, and 90s films. I’m fueled by kimchi and contemporary literature, and moved by rap music and the women’s motorcycle community. Originally from Continental Europe, with a stopover in Scandinavia, I now explore the Canadian West Coast.
