Summary

Thanks to a unique background and that distinct last name, I've never fit neatly into one box. Learning to look beyond what's in front of you and see something more is a gift. To see things from a different angle. To see a new solution. To see beyond the box.

This ability empowers me as a strategic integrator in uniting cross-functional teams, clients, and concepts that foster collaboration and innovation, across all levels. Harnessing the power of data and interpersonal relationships to build trust, drive sustainable change, and activate growth by looking beyond the box.

~ Don't look for the solution, be the solution ~
