My career has taken me from Hollywood to entrepreneurship and co-founding Global Tinker, where I created award-winning children’s series and edtech platforms.

Today, I describe myself as a “Renaissance Creator” because my work spans media production, product development, and personal creative projects. Whether I’m building a new learning platform, painting in my studio, writing a picture book, or experimenting with no-code tools, I’m always considering how I can channel creativity to societal and cultural impact.

Some of my cross-sector achievements include:

• National Science Foundation’s VITAL Prize Challenge Award for next-gen learning technologies

• SXSW EDU Launch Competition Semi-Finalist

• Harvard's Saul Zaentz Early Education Innovation Challenge Award

• Inaugural Sesame Workshop Joan Ganz Cooney Center Well-being by Design Fellow - read my case study here!
