Why do I do it?

Because stories have power. They unite us, challenge us, and inspire change. My journey across the world has shown me that visibility, representation, and authenticity matter. Whether through branding, content, or speaking engagements, my goal is to amplify voices, foster connections, and create spaces where everyone belongs.

As a queer, international female business leader, I see successful business as a form of activism. Growing up, I didn’t see enough women who looked like me out in the world succeeding at scale. That’s why my goal is simple: to do great business. By building globally recognized companies, I hope to show other minorities that they, too, can be bold, take up space, and create thriving businesses on their own terms.

Where Have I Done It?

As an American entrepreneur raised in Cleveland, Ohio, with a Brazilian mother and an American father, I’ve always had a global perspective. Studying at Northeastern University in Boston, with time at Clare College, Cambridge (UK), and Bond University (Australia), deepened my international experience.

Over the past decade, I’ve built businesses and led campaigns across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. From the innovation hubs of Shanghai and New York to the creative energy of Bangkok, Mexico, and Europe, my work thrives at the intersection of culture, business, and storytelling—because great ideas know no borders.
