For 8 years I helped lead Bucketfeet, as Co-Founder and Director of Strategic Partnerships. Bucketfeet is an artist designed footwear brand that collaborated and worked with a global network of 120,000+ user partnerships and which culminated in a meaningful and lucrative acquisition after reaching $17.5 million in revenue.

As Co-Founder, I developed Bucketfeet´s strategic partnerships and community engagement strategies from scratch. While I had many responsibilities, the aspect of my role that I was most passionate about revolved around engagement of our wider community (artists, customers, and brand partners to name a few). In essence, I acted as the liaison between external and internal stakeholders.

Beginning in mid 2022, I accepted the role of Global Head of Growth and Partnerships at Secret Walls, a company I built a strong relationship with while running Bucketfeet. Secret Walls is the world’s premier live art entertainment company as well as a creative agency. My responsibilities have been focused on brand sponsorship deals, and activations with local philanthropic organizations for our recently-completed 40+ city North America Tour and for one-off events.
