I first saw the Nutcracker when I was four, and did ballet classes for a decade. When I’m passionate about something, I’m all in.

I have a childhood in Oregon to thank for my love of the outdoors and passion for sustainability. I grew up backpacking the Pacific Northwest, powder-skiing on Mt.

Fostering dynamic communities around campfires and conference tables has led me to produce large-scale campaigns, cultivate productive teams, and trip lead students around the world.

I’ve found that navigating the career path means embracing turns in the trail, and that it all leads somewhere for a reason. That wet lettuce handshakes say a lot about a person, and good ones say even more. I thrive under the pressure of a creative challenge, and the ultimate goal of making work that gets someone to say “now why didn’t I think of that?” 

Outside of work I'm a competitive swimmer, a more competitive Settlers of Catan player, and a diligent Survivor applicant. I’m normally a big advocate of LNT (leave no trace), but since you came all the way here, no reason to leave empty handed…
