As an experienced communicator, project and people manager, and researcher, I bring an evidence-based approach to my work. At heart, I believe great work comes from great teams who share a vision of meaning and success. As a communicator, I translate difficult ideas into everyday language and images that make readers think and feel. As a manager, I value honesty, kindness, and success. As a researcher, I’m addicted to evidence, logic, and truth. As a human, I want my work to make the world better; I want to inspire; and I want what I do to bring light and joy.
