I’m not afraid of new things or complex systems, I also won’t turn down a cookie.
I’ve been defining problems, conducting research, and designing solutions for 10+ years across healthcare, finance, energy, manufacturing, and other critical industries.

I am…
outdoors obsessed
Hiking, biking, snowboarding, and just about any outside activity is how I spend (or at least want to spend) my free time.
a lifelong learner
An avid reader, podcast listener and documentary watcher I’m always trying to learn something new and easily fascinated.
cool in the kitchen
When I don’t have what the recipe calls for (if I’m even using a recipe), I improvise and figure it out. It always comes out edible.
