Now supporting senior technology executives at Wells Fargo, I am passionate about creating accessible and informative communications deliverables. This includes written items and videos that deliver insight, align with corporate strategy, and expand the voices of senior executives. In a busy, fast-moving time, delivering clarity in communications can have a positive impact for organizations and illuminate the path forward. Through my work with both public and private organizations, I have honed my overall business acumen and analytical abilities to generate actionable insights. Engaging with global audiences while managing complex projects has built a foundation of versatile skills and diverse approaches to achieving success. Even with demanding stakeholders and strict timelines, my ability to prioritize listening and communicating well has resulted in positive outcomes.At the same time, I enjoy telling stories—the way, I believe, we learn best. This includes crafting narratives of a compelling kind that resonate well across organizations and that build engagement. Committed to continuous learning and growth, I spent 4 years as a member of Toastmasters International, through which I honed my public speaking and presentation skills, which I believe are critical to delivering impactful messages and findings. During that time and in order to help others improve, I mentored fellow Toastmaster members and assisted them in building their confidence and speaking with greater polish in front of others. Allowing others to succeed in their pursuits—something I first found while teaching—is deeply rewarding and contributes to my own professional development. Expanding my skill set through continuous learning, engaging in intellectual pursuits, and exploring new areas of study are lifelong interests of mine. Writing and reading widely—particularly biographies, world histories, and leadership studies—are two of the methods that I use to develop my skills and improve my effectiveness in working with diverse audiences.I'm a big fan of Formula 1 racing, NASA and space adventures, and independent bookshops across the world.
