Global Cultural Affairs Executive and Educator dedicated to nurturing global talent in creative industries. Having lived, studied, and worked across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, I bring a truly global perspective to visual arts coaching. As President of the Berlin Fashion Film Festival, a former fashion editor, and a trusted expert for luxury brands like LVMH, Kering, and SONY, I have spearheaded initiatives merging art, innovation, and business. My work has garnered recognition from Condé Nast and American Express, with features in Vogue, CNN, Forbes, and The New York Times. I have had the honor to coach hundreds of international students, graduates, and entrepreneurs, guiding them through complex career paths and academic admissions. This passion for mentoring brings me to Leland, where I aim to share my expertise in portfolio refinement, strategic career planning, and interview preparation. My professional journey - from fashion week catwalks, editorial rooms, classrooms to global corporate boardrooms - has honed my skills in agility, reinvention, and adaptability. As a member of the Rolling Stone Culture Council, a Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center Business Coach, and a Scholar Member of the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) consisting of the world's 32 top business schools (some of which I taught at) , I offer invaluable insights to help future-proof your career. Let us connect and elevate your artistic journey and position you for success!
