Summary

I excel at seeing the bigger picture, optimizing systems, and deeply understanding people. My background in research, problem-solving, and efficiency allows me to oversee projects, streamline processes, and connect individuals in a way that maximizes both productivity and personal growth. My experience working with people on a deep level has strengthened my ability to identify root problems, develop structured plans, and continuously refine strategies for success. Having spent a decade mastering the balance between action and being—through research, somatics, and holistic optimization—I now apply that wisdom to teams and products, ensuring they function at their highest potential while maintaining my own balance. To see people clearly, beyond just strengths and weaknesses but as evolving forces, requires an attunement to something deeper: the will to grow, the spirit to endure, and the vision to transform. I bring this philosophy into everything I do, elevating not just efficiency but the work itself. I am confident in my ability to improve your company, product, or team through strategic insight, research-driven solutions, and authentic leadership.
