My Values

"When we become kinder to ourselves, we can become kinder to the world"

Who I Am

Generalist

Builder

Curiosity is woven deeply into the way I move through the world, and I aim to learn something new every single day. My work over the past 12 years has centered around working with technology, language, and people to build innovative solutions. As a generalist, I approach problems with a wide prism of experiences and skills. Similarly, my interests are broad, but a common theme is applying systems thinking to how ideas, products, and processes are organized and communicated. I'm also someone who is very familiar with the healthcare system in US, through my work in the public sector and my lived experience.

Big picture thinking

The how can be just as important as the what. Over the course of my career, I’ve learned that how we show up at work has a real impact on our ability to build trust with others, which influences what we can accomplish together. As a manager and team leader, I help people connect their work to the bigger picture - the mission of the organization, their goals and aspirations - and help support their success. As a contributor and collaborator, I am outcome-driven, collaborative, and gifted in decomposing problems and brainstorming solutions.

What Motivates Me

What-if's

Experimention

I love being thrown into an unfamiliar situation and tasked with solving a problem. Complexity and nuance? Bring it on. Compressed timelines? Let's go. These are the areas where I really excel - when time is tight and workable solutions are a must-have. Mapping out new territory using creative methods to demystify something that's really hard to understand - I actively look for these opportunities and deliver tangible results.

My Story

My experiences with rare head/neck cancer have profoundly shaped the way I think about work, healthcare, and the role of kindness in our lives. In early 2024, shortly after another recurrence and surgery, I took a sabbatical to focus on writing, flying paragliders, and think through the next steps in my career.

During that time, one of the things I learned is that I am extremely interested in roles where my lived experience with healthcare - and oncology specifically - could be leveraged. Whether this is in a clinical or technology setting, I am eager to contribute to work that has a tangible impact on people dealing with life-altering conditions.

There's more to my story of course, and I am currently in the process of writing a memoir. Please join me on that journey over on Substack.

Open to opportunities

I’m always interested in connecting with folks - especially fellow generalists, paraglider pilots, or people who have lived through cancer. If you don't fall into one those categories, that's fine too, I'd still love to say hello 😊 Please reach out through LinkedIn, or by following me on Substack,

I am currently exploring new opportunities, so please reach out if you know of a role that might be a good fit.
