I combine strong business and strategy acumen with a human-centered design skill set to support teams in identifying root problems and shaping user-focused solutions. Systems thinking, sustainability, social impact business, community co-design, and mindfulness are themes that continually energize me and bring meaning to the work I do.
In my personal time, I enjoy staying active by participating in triathlons, hockey, soccer, and golf, and I love outdoor activities. I can often be found paddling my kayak or on a backcountry camping trip with friends.
