Lovely to meet you! I am an introvert that loves people, connecting 1:1 and getting to know others personally to engage with them holistically at work. I tend to fill in the gaps in a team and deeply care about bringing others along. ​​​​​​​
Prior to design, I had a couple of different professional lives: started off in education, moved into non-profit operations, and most recently worked in recruiting operations in the tech space. 
While at Pomona College in Claremont, California, USA, I studied environmental analysis, focusing on sustainable practices, and spent most of my 4 years on the school farm.
Inquisitive and light-hearted, I explore and learn on the daily. My favorite adventures in the past have included taking a year-long improvisation class, backpacking the Grand Canyon for 5 days, and picking Kona coffee on the Big Island of Hawaii for 2 months.
