About Me
I approach my work with open-minded curiosity. I'm always looking for opportunities to gain new perspectives, share new insights, and adapt to new knowledge. I've had the advantage of working on multiple teams and each experience has helped me learn the following about myself:
I can make sense out of chaos.
-
I can see the vision and the pathways.
-
My gut is good, but I seek data to back my decisions.
-
I understand how people and systems are affected by change and work to find sustainable solutions that serve rather than alienate.
-
I'm undaunted by challenges and excel at executing big ideas within given constraints.
I can help people work toward their potential.
-
Training and facilitation aren't just in my wheelhouse, they're my home runs.
-
I value all perspectives and seek to align them to the mission, helping people find authenticity in their work.
-
I work with a high level of integrity and competence and expect the same from others.
I can bring people together.
-
People trust me because I earn it.
-
I'm an expert collaborator.
-
I'm the one people go to for a listening ear or a celebration dance.
-
I'm calm under pressure and don't get rattled easily.
