Kumusta! I’m K.O. and I love bringing people together.
I’m a Community-led Strategy and Operations leader from the San Francisco Bay Area with 8+ years of experience in high-impact international B2C organizations.
I value empathy, empowerment, transparency and collaboration, and these principles guide me in all of the work that I do (and in my day-to-day life).

Sr./Community Manager @ Rakuten Viki, 2014-2018
Community Advocate @ Rakuten Viki, 2014

I find joy in creativity, making sense out of chaos, building relationships that matter, getting to know people authentically, and finding efficient solutions.
I’m curious about the world around us and feel energized when exploring and learning.

I love traveling, sketching, learning more about fashion and art history, listening to movie podcasts and watching reality TV and British dramas (shoutout to RuPaul’s Drag Race and Broadchurch).
