The civic engagement problem is real.

We all know that communities thrive when people show up for one another. But lately, it feels like that spark is getting harder to find. Even with so many organizations doing incredible work, the numbers show a shift we have to address!

51%

of Canadians don't participate in any group or organization.

32%

of Canadians formally volunteer, down from 41% just five years earlier.

40%

fewer hours are being spent attending public meetings about community affairs.

How we build believers together.

Workshop Facilitation

Let's get people talking! I shift the room from passive listening to active participation. My focus is simple: create a space where everyone feels connected to your mission.

Event Hosting & MC

I'll bring the energy! I focus on building a bridge between you and your audience, ensuring the buzz you create in the room lasts long after the final applause.

Custom Engagement Experiences

We'll build it together! You have the mission, I have the spark. Let's collaborate to design a truly unique experience that reflects your vision and leaves your audience feeling transformed.

My approach.

1

Getting grounded

I start by doing my homework, researching your organization to make sure our values align and I truly understand the heart of your mission and what your audience needs.

2

Designing the plan

Whether we're building your vision from the ground up or elevating a session or program you already have, we'll shape an experience that genuinely resonates.

3

Bringing the energy

I show up to facilitate, host, or MC, bringing the energy needed to turn your audience into active participants and true believers.

Who I work with.

I love partnering with organizations dedicated to making the world a bit better.

About me.

Back in 2021, during my Master of Education at Queen's University, an exercise asked me to draw what I wanted my future to look like. After four years of art school, the drawing I'm proudest of turned out to be a stick figure with a speech bubble that said, "Helping people... [which] can look like lots of things." That little drawing became the guiding principle for my career.

My career has taken me from artist, to pastry chef, to marketer, to educator, and now to leading national Early Talent Programs at Nestlé Canada. On paper those roles couldn't look more different, but they all put me in front of people, helping them grow, connect, and believe in themselves.

Somewhere along the way, I discovered what matters most is how people feel after we've worked together. A colleague put it perfectly:

"I have had some very insightful conversations with you and always came out inspired. You bring positivity and authenticity to work... I wish you a lot of success in whatever you do in life."

Messages like that gave me the confidence to lean into what I've always loved: bringing people together around ideas that matter. I'm a proud Canadian-Egyptian, a wife, a mom, and yes, like Miss Congeniality, I really do want world peace. Today, I use my voice in service of organizations whose missions I believe in, helping them create experiences that build believers.

Off the clock, you'll catch me painting
