Art and culture have been woven into my life since age 2, when I was handed gallery books of Matisse and Monet to keep me entertained. That same year, I picked up a paintbrush, sparking a passion that led me to music school by age 5, art school by 11, and later studies at institutions like l’École du Louvre, MoMA, and WSET for wine education.
Living in six countries taught me the power of cultural knowledge as a bridge to understanding societies and their unique values. During 10 years with international organizations, including the United Nations, I worked on projects across 56+ countries, connecting with colleagues from over 100 nations, from those in keffiyehs and saris to hijabs and kimonos.
These experiences have shown me that art and culture are more than beauty or history —they’re catalysts for personal growth with the power to influence society and the economy. I believe cultural capital is an invaluable asset in both personal life and international careers, and my mission is to help others unlock this resource for growth in a globalized world.
