I’m a creator.
I’ve been told that there’s more efficiency, laughter, and curiosity when I’m around. I see the world through a lens that loves to create order. I strive to not only do a good job, but craft processes and systems that get us from here to there at a sustainable pace while remembering and maintaining the humanity of the team. I love coming alongside others, learning more about who they are on the journey of project completion. I tell stories – I am an active podcaster, I lead a table at a local Recovery group, and I thrive when I’m able to ask questions and learn more about those around me. I build connection, places of belonging, and am an active positive culture contributor.
I love to learn. I am a Swiss Army Knife of abilities. I’ve led large teams of volunteers, project managed large-scale events with minimal budgets, and I am a multi-level thinker – able to span the gap between strategy and execution. I love building things – teams, events, projects, systems, climbing walls, LEGO sets. I love refining processes – sourdough baking, to project execution templates, and quickly learning software to help someone fix an issue. I grew up around computers and have a natural knack for quickly understanding software.
My ideal working environment is one that thrives on collaboration, creativity, continual curiosity, and that builds into and values employees as growing humans. If you’re looking for a solid, ever-learning and growing human to join your team, I’m it. Pick me.
