- 15 years ago, I began my career in tech consulting and for worked for global organizations like Capgemini and Oracle, after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s degree in Management Information Systems.
- I worked as a project manager, supporting organizations in various industries. Some of the clients I worked with are Rogers Communications, Walt Disney World, McDonalds, Areva, York University, and BC Hydro, along with many mid-sized businesses and nonprofits.
- My work took me across the US and Canada, and I also collaborated with offshore teams in different countries. These experiences taught me how to manage projects and people across time zones, cultures, and working styles.
- As I grew in my career, I took on a People & Strategy Operations role, where I partnered with senior leaders to run the people and operations side of a $100M+ tech portfolio (Microsoft, Google, AWS).
- I supported clients like McDonald’s, GE, and Michael Kors, managing staffing and workforce planning, leading HR programs, and driving engagement, communications, and DEI for 2,000+ remote and hybrid employees.
- I then became a Senior People Leader, where I led a team of 40+ functional and education consultants across North America. My role combined people leadership, strategy execution, and coaching.
- I partnered with executives on people strategy, scaled onboarding and campus hiring programs, improved resource management, and advanced DEI, including founding ABLE Canada (Black ERG) and being named a Top Women at Oracle Canada 2023 nominee.

- I’ve spoken at events and interntational panels on diversity, leadership, and employee experience, sharing lessons from leading multicultural teams.

- I speak both French and English, and I see myself as a citizen of the world. Living and working across countries taught me to value different perspectives and connect across cultures.
- I now live in Toronto, but I’m always open to new places and challenges.
- I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries, sometimes for work, sometimes for adventure (like the time I ended up sitting on a crocodile).
- I take thousands of photos everywhere I go and I bring an intrapreneurial spirit to everything I do.
- I’m also a planner at heart, if it’s building programs at work, mentoring women, or using Excel to organize just about everything in my life.
- With Mayana Voyage, I combine my love of travel with my solution-oriented mindset by simplifying international travel for families

- Leadership & communication
I work closely with leaders and teams to navigate growth and change. My approach is grounded in clear communication, cross-cultural collaboration, and practical leadership support via facilitation, workshops, and executive conversations.
- Culture, change & transformation
I help organizations translate strategy into action through culture and change initiatives that actually stick. This includes culture design, leadership enablement, organizational alignment, and supporting teams through periods of transformation.
- Technology, data & AI
With a background in tech consulting, I bring a structured, systems-focused lens to people work. I support HR technology rollouts, people analytics, dashboards, and the thoughtful adoption of AI in people processes, always with a people-first mindset.
With an experience from global leading organizations
My professional portfolio
I care deeply about empathy and inclusion but I also care about action and results.
Over the years, I’ve learned that listening is only the first step. What matters is turning what you hear into structure, clarity, and systems that actually work.
I’ve done this work inside global organizations and now ready to help you. I’ve seen how thoughtful leadership combined with disciplined execution creates workplaces where people feel supported and performance strengthens.
That balance matters to me.
