I was an early days Shopify employee (#145) where I launched customer experience for Shopify Plus, supporting major clients like BlackMilk, Strava, The Chivery, and the 2016 Presidential campaign for Hillary Clinton.
I then launched an influencer program called Shopify VIP and worked with megastars like Kylie Jenner and Jeffree Starr. It was fun, but I wanted to plan events. Events are my passion.
During the pandemic, I managed the growth of a US-based e-commerce and media company as EVP of Operations for Knocking.

Culture Enthusiast | Design Aficionado | Innovative Problem Solver | Former Salon Owner & Hairstylist
After studying photography at Algonquin College, I ventured into hairstyling studying at the Ottawa Academy. I further trained in NYC, Toronto and with over a decade of experience in the field, I opened my own salon-studio, Le Coiffeur.
After closing doors in 2020 due to the pandemic, I joined Knocking as a brand manager and went on to work with 500+ brands and major US TV networks and shows. After a year and a half in that role, I changed position and became the culture lead. As part of that role, I produced concerts, activities, webinars, games for our company of 100+ employees.
My eye for design comes in handy with creating and curating decor and concepts for events.
