On the community side, I work on projects like the Leaders Awards, All Stars, and our new dedicated community. My focus is on creating opportunities for engagement, whether that’s through LinkedIn groups, campaigns, or spotlighting members. I’m always looking for ways to connect our audience with valuable content and experiences.

On the partnerships side, I collaborate with our clients who want to partner with us for events, ensuring all deliverables are met and tracked. I’m the main point of contact for partners, making sure everything runs smoothly and aligns with their goals.

As a community manager, I loved getting to know our community members on a deeper level, understanding their goals, and supporting their growth within the UC/CX/XR Today network. This project gave me the chance to collaborate with some truly inspiring people. It was so fulfilling to see how we could create a platform that brings leaders together. It’s a project I’m very proud of and one that continues to motivate me.
