One of the best pieces of advice I’ve been given is to always surround myself with others that have more vision than I may have, in one way or another. This is something I’m inspired by often and it assists in reminding me that I want to help build better lives and create more worthwhile experiences with all those I come across. I have enjoyed many positions throughout my career in a variety of industries that have allowed me to engage with amazing beings who are building incredible products, spaces, and technologies, and who truly are adding to the positive growth of our communities. I learned how to create and manage from producing events, how to build and juggle from opening restaurants, how to analyze and strategize from business operations and brand marketing, and how to truly connect and communicate from my family and friends. I thrive off of meeting new people and learning about new perspectives, and I feel real networking starts with honest and open communication. I believe in the power of positive reinforcement and constructive criticism, and I love to focus on finding engaging ways we can work together and support one another.
