In May 2022, I took an intentional hiatus from work to roadtrip across the western United States and Canada with my partner. We spent 10 months camping, hiking, mountain biking, trying to learn how to farm (mixed success there), practicing photography, skiing, and indulging in precious, unrushed time with family and friends.This break was an immense privilege, and was the first time I had been unemployed since I've been legally old enough to work. It offered me a chance to reflect on my goals and priorities, which has been invaluable as I reenter the workforce and search for my next opportunity.I've never been more energized to dive into a new role, and am actively looking for mission-driven companies seeking an impact-oriented professional with expertise in and a passion for workforce development, climate and sustainability, learning and development, and/or social impact.
