Summary

My goal is to guide projects to success by focusing on two things: clear, data-driven insights and cooperative relationships. I use my analytical skills to solve problems and track progress, but I find that transparent communication is the most important tool of all. I am at my best when coordinating diverse teams, ensuring everyone's voice contributes to the final outcome. This comes from a genuine interest in connecting with different cultures and a commitment to building work that is not only successful but also sustainable and respectful.
