Beyond my work history

I have a diverse background rich with experiences all highlighting my innate ability to put myself in other people’s shoes, think intuitively and empathetically. A background in theater gives me permission to play, think big, improvise and rally a team.

Highly adaptable and customer-focused from years in the fast-paced service industry, I pride myself on being able to react, adjust, and thrive in a variety of situations. From high stakes fine dining to screaming children throwing mac and cheese, I think quick on my feet while maintaining composure. I focus on creating connections, ease, and harmony in my work and love to bring people together over a good meal. 

My design strengths stem from my playful approach and I thrive in the initial ideation strategy phases. No idea is too big or too wild at first, but narrowing those wild ideas with a data-driven strategy really excites me. I like to iterate, I practice testing my theories and designs often and adapt based on feedback. The empath in me loves creating something that solves a problem and makes life more easy or fun!
