I am a multilingual, intercultural leadership speaker who helps rooms of executives translate ambition into aligned action across borders through a values‑driven approach to transformation. Rooted in lived experience from Morocco to Germany, I connect with audiences across the USA, Europe, the Gulf, and Asia—bridging cultures with stories that land and practices that stick. On stage, I share the 4 Empires—Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset—to unify performance, presence, energy, and purpose into one operating system leaders can use immediately. Conferences bring me in to spark inclusive conversations that turn difference into momentum, spotlighting the host’s commitment to representation, belonging, and leadership that resonates across languages and industries. Beyond the stage, my work funds on‑the‑ground charity initiatives in Morocco, and I actively position the host conference as a partner in inclusion and impact so attendees see the message—and the model—in action. If the goal is to inspire action and demonstrate real commitment to global inclusion, I deliver a keynote and community moments that help organizers amplify their message across international networks with credibility and heart.

✨ Chi sono in poche righe (ma piene di senso)

Docente d’inglese in una vita precedente (ma siamo sicuri???), con la testa tra le nuvole e i piedi ben piantati nelle Roadmap, oggi sono una Scrum Master che ama sperimentare, innovare e prendersi cura delle persone nei momenti di cambiamento.

La mia bussola? L’agilità come mindset, la visione di prodotto al posto della logica di progetto, e una fiducia incrollabile nel potere della giocosità come leva di trasformazione.

Amo tutto ciò che è didattica innovativa, inclusione, collaborazione e quel meraviglioso caos creativo che si accende quando i team trovano il proprio ritmo.

Mi definiscono sognatrice, io dico che sono semplicemente un’eterna bambina con la passione per le retrospettive ben fatte, le user story ben scritte, e i momenti in cui si ride insieme tra un daily e una review.

Non porto soluzioni, porto domande che aprono strade.

Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.

I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.

I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.
