Over the last 7+ years, I’ve built my career navigating the wicked problems and ambiguous spaces for both large-scale enterprises and agile mid-sized organizations. The academic rigor from MS taught me how to think, but my professional experience taught me how to act. I pride myself on having the judgment to know exactly how much rigor is needed to move a business forward.

I'm always motivated and drawn to explore nature — usually hiking new trails or cycling. And when I need a quiet moment, I love doing painting and cooking new dishes.
