At my core, is the belief that bolder, more audacious realities are possible.
I see moments of change—which are happening faster and more frequently than ever—as fertile soil for new possibilities.
These moments are as full of as much potential as they are fraught with complexity, and I feel incredibly energized by tackling this complexity holistically—blending rigor, imagination, and human wisdom.
I grew up in southern Wisconsin amongst sandhill cranes and tallgrass prairie. I bring a deeply personal perspective on opportunity, excellence, and harmony of human wisdom and new intelligence.
Outside of work, I read & write, spend time in entrepreneurial spaces, and am currently exploring improv.
I hold a MS Design + Innovation, & BS Information Science.
