ABOUT ME
Get to know me!
I can best describe myself as a systems thinker, and anthropologist at heart.
I am motivated by the needs of end users and the power of informed decision-making to have a real impact on real lives. I get excited about surfacing and solving problems so that teams can better communicate, collaborate, and deliver critically needed products and services to our communities. Outside of work, I am constantly planning my next adventure, whether it be to a new country, restaurant, or music venue.
