Founder and Executive Director, HUSH Providence

“I am because we are.” Ubuntu philosophy

Throughout my career, I’ve been finding my voice by helping others find theirs. A creative entrepreneur, passionate leader and community organizer, I’m a recent graduate and practitioner of Dean Ornish Cardiac Program, MBSR Training at Brown University, lifelong supporter and advocate for wellbeing programming at work and an enthusiastic plant-based foodie. Prior to this, I created a legacy of signature events and an employee network of 1000+ employees representing their passions and commitment to excellence impacting business strategy and policy, employee value proposition and ultimately employer brand.

Through personal reflection, I believe mindfulness is all about relationships…to self, friends and family, community and the environment. There is a oneness to humanity; it is said that by taking mindfulness to heartfulness, we allow ourselves to be present with purpose and empathy. HUSH Providence launched in Summer, 2019 as a campaign to bring free mindfulness, movement and music to the community celebrating iconic spaces and leveraging opportunities to connect. We hope to showcase the amazing talent of others by creating space, access and awareness and celebrating beautiful venues. We are grateful for your support in this journey.
