  Thriving Communities Network

  • Greater Seattle Area

  • Cofounder

    • Mar 2016 - Aug 2018
    • Greater Seattle Area

    Thriving Communities Network was born out of a passion for creating community and public spaces that increased community levels of happiness. We convened dynamic groups for cross-sector conversations and numerous events around Seattle about happiness data, its collection and analysis, and how each sector can use it in their decision-making to have a more positive impact on their communities. We also served as consultants for organizations looking to create a bigger impact through their work. We specialized in helping nonprofit leaders articulate their mission and vision, communicate the value of their work, and create clear and compelling calls to action for their audience. -- In my professional journey, TCN served a pivotal role in shaping the direction of my career path. In addition to the passion I felt for the work we were doing, I found the process of building a brand, shaping the direction of the organization, and communicating our complex vision extremely fulfilling. It was empowering to start an organization at the age of 23 around the concept of happiness, and have established professionals take interest and listen. The support we felt for our mission and the intelligent people we convened to participate in our vision lit a fire in me for entrepreneurship, for continuing to explore my curiosities and passions, and to step through open doors to see where they take me. This experience also solidified my understanding of my own skills for brand building and high-level communications, became the gateway into my career as a Brand Strategist, and laid the foundation for me to continue building companies that spread positivity to the world.
