Meet the Team

We are a growing, international, women-run business supporting important causes for social development around the world.

Founder & CEO
Nina is from Toronto, but splits her time between there and Antigua, Guatemala. She holds a degree in Philosophy and Psychology from York University, as well as a certificate in Digital Marketing Management from the University of Toronto, and a Post-Graduate in Project Management & International Development from Humber College.
She has experience working in marketing, communications, fundraising, and teaching in Canada, South Korea and Guatemala. After working in the social impact sector for a few years, she realized there was a need for nonprofits and social enterprises to fundraise and communicate in a modern and engaging way, so she started Sunflower with the hopes of helping clients tell their story, amplify their impact and reach their goals.
Her mother tongue is English, and she has working proficiency skills in Spanish.
She won the BMO x Humber College Women’s entrepreneurship pitch challenge in March 2023.

After her move to Antigua, she began exploring new careers and learning new skills. While working at a Production House, she had the opportunity to learn Ethical Production Management. During this time she also started learning Social Media Management and Strategy, which led her to Sunflower. She is in charge of optimization, management, and making sure our clients content reach their goals.
