My Professional Values
Empathy
Everyone wants to be seen, heard and understood. Empathy is the most important value to uphold when communicating with someone.
Transparency
Transparency and honesty are critical to a balanced, respectful, and fair workplace. When creating, I like to be clear and honest about our goals and listen to my colleagues' and clients' opinions during the process.
Teamwork
I have a great time brainstorming in groups, so if you need another thinking person in the room, make sure to call me in!
Sense of Humor
As an extrovert, I take my job of keeping everyone smiling and comfortable very seriously.
What inspires me
Photography
More specifically, film photography! But I’m always searching for any type of visual art that catches my eyes and heart.
Music
Concerts make me feel alive. Music is part of my daily routine, I can’t cook, drive or walk around without it.
Football
I used to play at a competitive level as a teenager, but now my ankles only allow me to play once a week.
