Winning 🥇Helping others ❤️Learning as much as I can 🤓Having a good time 🕺Having unique experiences ✨

I love to help make people better versions of themselves, and give them the confidence to achieve more than they thought they could. If I can do that, our team will be better and we'll win! Doing so requires a learner's mindset and having a good time while doing it. If we have fun, learn, and execute efficiently while remaining accountable for results, motivation should flow naturally.

My core values

AdventureFunCommunityCreativityHumorRespect

Have fun, and we can achieve almost anything. Be miserable for too long, and we'll almost certainly fail at anything we set out to do. "If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together" :)

What I'm like at work

Clarity of thought is key, but it often requires multiple perspectives to be engaged and a significant investment of time. These key attributes are why I focus on bringing these attitudes to work.

My areas for growth

Clearly communicates purpose and visionMaintains clear long term vision that drives decision makingFosters high performance teamwork

I am consistently trying to be better at communicating a clear vision and purpose to aid in fast decision-making in the trenches. That clarity of vision and priority are key to making sure our team successfully achieves its long-term goals and is able to work together to achieve the unimaginable.

My superpowers

Mentors and develops teammates for their growthManages feelings of self and others during conflictStays composed throughout conflict or difficult situationsInvests and is interested in personal and professional growthIntentional and strategic project planning

I try my best to create a team culture that can work through difficult situations, because creating anything meaningful is just the result of navigating those situations consistently and successfully. I also am big on intentionality. WHY are we doing something? Why is NOW the right time? Is there a better/faster more efficient way? Can we manage and eliminate risk by staging our investment of time and resources?
