I believe that all processes can be made easier, that every problem has as solution, and I use my creative problem solving, natural inquisitiveness, and ability to synthesize components from different contextual areas to alleviate these burdens from peoples’ daily lives.  I love creating synergies between separate ideas, and using them to mitigate the chaos around us.  I am open minded, forward thinking, and a nearly-endless idea generator.  I thrive in taking initiative to fix challenges before they become major problems.

I’m a creative problem solver, endlessly curious, contagiously calm, and an excellent counterbalance for chaos.  I’ve worked in many positions and career fields throughout the years, ranging from managing study abroad programs and mitigating student risk overseas, automating and analyzing data and crafting dashboards to aid in high-level decision making, to user centered flows through ux.

In my off-work time, I am always learning something new (usually through TED talks), reading historical or time travel novels, watching sci-fi or crime dramas, or playing non-mainstream board games.
