meet your thought partner
I’m a strategist and storyteller who helps organizations bring their values to life from the inside out. With roots in journalism—at CNN and The Huffington Post—and experience leading culture and communications work at tech companies like Dropbox and Cisco, I connect the dots between employee engagement, internal communications, and culture, always with an eye toward clarity, impact, and belonging.
A journalist meets tech
From the fast-paced production floor at CNN to publishing thought pieces in The Huffington Post, journalism taught me how to listen deeply, translate complexity, and communicate with integrity. Whether I was researching global policy or reflecting on identity and culture, the goal was always the same: connect with people and tell stories that matter.
That foundation has guided me through the world of tech—from shaping internal narratives at Cisco to leading culture and belonging initiatives at Dropbox—and continues to inform my work helping organizations engage their people, communicate with purpose, and build cultures rooted in equity and connection.

a global perspective
Having an international perspective through my work, studies, and personal experiences allows me to add a global lens to my work. I’ve studied and worked across borders, lived in Spain, traveled widely, and speak both Spanish and Urdu. I love connecting the dots between cultures—finding the common threads, appreciating the differences, and bringing that awareness into how I think about people, systems, and communication. It’s what helps me create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued—no matter where they’re coming from.
