As a child, I often heard the title “Renaissance Man” and quickly decided that I would grow up to be a “Renaissance Woman”. I’m not sure that I’ve earned the title yet, but I am very excited to see what I get to learn to do next!More about me through quotes from some of my idols:“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” (Dr. Seuss)-I am not the “fit” that some companies look for. Instead I am the diversifier that draws out the most unique ideas for the project.“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.” (George Carlin)-Through story mapping and candid public engagements, I harness those breathless moments to inform and direct efforts that will revitalize our communities.“I alone cannot change the world. But I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” (Mother Teresa)-I will fearlessly advocate to positively influence public and private policies that adversely affect our underserved populations.“Just keep swimming.” (Dory)-I provide large-scale plans with incremental implementation schedules that keep the project consistently moving forward while providing opportunities for little wins along the way.
