I can imagine that

I have 14 years of experience in the service industry. I started as a cater waiter at the Manhattan Club above Rosie O’Grady’s steakhouse in Midtown, and most recently was working on market development and product performance at Oatly. I worked in the retail coffee industry for 9 years, and working on projects that would benefit the coffee community was a large part of my work at Oatly.

I’m a performer. I danced with National Dance Institute (NDI) as a kid, and continued dancing through college. Through NDI I was introduced to singing, I attended LaGuardia High School majoring in vocal music, and sang in a band for ten years. I’m a maker. I make songs, written work, design work, ceramics, drawings, paintings, great dinners and better friends.

I believe in equity, collectivism, and social justice. My volunteer leadership in coffee has focused on amplifying and problem-solving for issues affecting hourly coffee workers. I spearheaded and formalized Oatly’s Covid support for the coffee community through giving out product and contributing to mutual aid efforts. I have a drive to do good work that benefits people and communities, and our ability to continue to habitate this planet.
