Creative problem-solver
I love finding solutions to problems at work, and in my everyday life. I enjoy learning new things, have a knack for understanding complex problems and systems, and a passion for finding solutions that users love.
I am an advocate for the customer and for my team. I enjoy listening, but I’m also not afraid to push back. Time spent getting to know the problem, the customers, the data, and my teammates is always well spent. You can count on me to provide you with a well-researched, balanced view.

Unique Experience

You can find me balancing my work life with some exciting hobbies. I’m a professional metal detectorist (I can help you find your missing ring!), and Part 107 commercial drone pilot. I believe strongly that we are more than our resume, so I hope you’ll get to know some of my other passions. If you’re looking to increase the number of Tetris champions on your team, look no further.
