People who have impacted how I see the 🌍
Each of these people has shifted how I see myself in relation to the world around me.
- Matisse inspires me to color outside of the lines and embrace my own style.
- Gladwell changed how I engage with others.
- Serena taught me about the power of tenacity, grit, and self.
- Kendra Scott is a trailblazer in her own right and has built a company and ecosystem to support other women and their desire to create.
- Taylor Swift continues to keep me on my toes as she creates a global empire that exists across multiple industries, has a significant impact on the economy, and fuels many small businesses.
- Aristotle's work continues to ground me in my love of theory and learning. His work on Rhetoric continues to be a source I reference.
What I'm like at work
The number one compliment that I get is that I'm thoughtful and intentional, and the great part? It's true. I am confident in my ability to build and execute in a way that is intentional and mindful of time/resources/purpose/outcome/data-driven.

My core values
Missing from this list is equity!
Full storySomething that drives me crazy 😵💫 🤬
Solving the wrong problem!
Do some research, iterate, learn, and then create a solution that works.
For example, if you're worried about event attendance, don't simply create more events. Solve for the entire engagement model, from prompts to motivation and ability. (BJ Fogg Behavior Model)
Epic work fails
My program for women in entrepreneurship...looking at you VCs.
I designed a program to accelerate the path to entrepreneurship for young women. It is uniquely designed to tackle some of the biggest roadblocks they face on their journey, including social capital, actual capital, the confidence to go full-time, mentorship, de-risking by finding a co-founder, and more... There's the infamous stat of <3% of VC funds going to women, and that was my motivator for the program. Unsurprisingly, no one was interested in funding my program aimed at solving the lack of funding for women in entrepreneurship. 🙃 I still have the program designed, branded, and ready to build when the right person comes to the table to bring this initiative to life. I have hope!

Things that deeply motivate me…
I once watched a TikTok about the need for executive gravitas and thought, "I guess I'm not an executive," but I had the title of VP. I find posturing (or forced gravitas) to get in the way of authenticity and connection which limits my ability to help others ...which feeds my soul. Helping others for me looks like mentoring or coaching my team through challenges or getting into the details with the team to build the solution together. The thing that motivates me the most is watching my own team succeed personally and professionally. It gives me such joy to empower others or help them on their journey.
