Waterloo, ON, CA

I\'m the founder and Director of Creative Arts and Media at Origin Studio, a creative space in Kitchener-Waterloo built for people who have something to say and want to say it well. I work across photography, video, audio, design, and marketing to help individuals and businesses tell better stories.I spend most of my time helping others create meaningful content—whether that’s recording a podcast, shooting a campaign, or building a brand from scratch. I believe in leading with value, not sales. That’s why we give people a chance to try our services before they commit. Free headshots, trial podcast sessions—these are the kinds of things that help us build real relationships with the people we serve.I’m also focused on growing the creative community in our region. I partner with other artists and entrepreneurs to run workshops, events, and collaborative projects that support and showcase local talent.If you\'re building something and want help shaping your message or creating the content to support it, that’s where I come in

With over 20 years of hands-on experience leading and scaling successful businesses, I excel in transforming challenges into profitable opportunities. As a former Chef and restaurant consultant, I have led teams of 60+ in high-pressure hospitality settings, consistently delivering projects that surpass expectations in terms of customer satisfaction and revenue growth. I hold a Communications diploma with honors and distinction, which has been instrumental in my success in sales, marketing, and customer relations. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to social impact, actively participating in CivicTech initiatives to address community issues through innovative tech solutions. I have also assisted non-profits in creating awareness and gaining funding for social issues. As I transition from exiting my role as CEO, I am eager to apply my expertise in strategic growth and operational excellence in new and challenging environments within startups and consulting sectors.
