She has led executive-level trainings, designed company-wide learning initiatives, managed client onboarding strategies, and mentored new team members - blending strategic thinking with care and clarity.

She is an avid learner with growing interests in herbalism, anatomy, and agriculture, and in her free time enjoys reading across genres, immersing herself in nature, and continuing to expand her knowledge. At Retaaza, she is excited to contribute to food systems work that nourishes both community and spirit.
