I love people and technology and teaching and learning. My strengths are flexibility, adaptability, with detail oriented inclusive processes, collaboration, and learning quickly.My ideal job is managing researchers and research operations and helping researchers grow in their careers while helping a business grow.In all of my research leadership roles I have defined and created research operations practices and processes and teams, local and global, for B2B, B2C, and B2B2C products.People who have been managed or mentored or coached by me appreciate my cheerful energy, the depth and breadth of my experience in research, and the help I provide with collaboration and processes.
