About

I'm someone who thrives when I understand the why behind the work — context helps me connect what I'm doing to the bigger picture.

I lean conversational in how I communicate, and I genuinely enjoy collaborating, but I also need real space to work independently and think things through. My quieter moments aren't disinterest; they're usually me processing. I'm drawn to work that blends strategy and execution, and I'm comfortable both leading and contributing depending on what the moment calls for.

A few things that help us work well together: - Share the reasoning behind decisions — it helps me align and contribute meaningfully - Expect a mix: I like structure and room to adapt - Weekly check-ins, written or verbal, keep me feeling supported - Humor and a supportive tone go a long way with me
