willing to dig in AND push boundaries. In my mind, there's a wonderful balance between data and innovation that is an infinitely fun game of pushing and pulling. I hope my teammates always feel they can bring any idea to the table (let's be real, we probably would just be riding really optimized horses if someone hadn't thought there could possibly be a different and better way).

Someone once told me that I'm the type of person that runs into the fire when everyone else is running the other direction. Nothing energizes me more than a seemingly "impossible" problem. "Can't" isn't something I believe it.
