Beyond marketing, my expertise extends into hospitality and culinary arts as a classically trained French chef, certified sommelier, and author, blending storytelling with the art of food and wine. My passion for activism led me to found Feed the World, a 501c3 nonprofit delivering food, water, clothing, and life-saving aid to underserved communities worldwide.
