VP, Creative Coordinator–Lead event & Wedding planner

I’m a highly creative, conscious leader dedicated to empowering teams and bringing visions to life. As VP and Creative Director of Olympic Valley Stables, I curate enchanting events, bring dreams to life and cultivate spaces where projects and people flourish. As Director of Tahoe Wedding Industry Group (TWIG), I foster collaboration within the wedding industry in Tahoe Region through strategic networking and education. With over 20 years as Global Art Director for Whole Foods Market, I helped shape its creative identity and guided its evolution through Amazon’s acquisition, leading global teams, spearheading high-impact initiatives, and managing multi-million-dollar projects across retail, store development, and corporate spaces. Grounded in innovation and sustainability, I thrive in refining operations, inspiring talent, and building strong foundations for lasting impact.

 

Professional Belly Dancer and fire flow artist

Deeply rooted in my family's Persian heritage, my passion for sound and movement is enriched by the tribal rhythms of my native culture. A showgirl at heart, I've been sharing dazzling performances for over two decades while holding space for empowering students to grow and connect with their sacred power through dance. Specializing in Belly Dancing, I’ve developed a unique style that blends free-flowing expression, electric beats, and fire. Trained and recruited by Amira Mor at The Broadway Dance Center in New York City in 2004, I continue to refine my artistry, merging ancient traditions with modern innovation to ignite the stage.

 

Plant-based culinary arts: education + consulting

I’m passionate about creating and sharing nutrient-rich, superfood recipes that taste yummy and promote vibrant health from the inside out. I’ve worked alongside leading experts for over 2 decades as Whole Foods Market’s Global Art Director, shaping global food trends and showcasing America’s healthiest foods. Now, I help others embrace a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle through education, consulting, and delicious, nourishing solutions. Eating more plants isn’t just good for you—it’s a powerful way to enhance well-being, and support a more sustainable world. Let’s enjoy the bounty of healthy eating together!
