My Values

Take ownership

Don’t wait for someone else to solve the problem or see the solution to the finish line. Have agency and see things through till the end. You can ask for help, delegate, and collaborate, but own the outcome.

Love learning

Stay curious, embrace every opportunity to grow, and love the process. Constantly push yourself to understand new things, soak up knowledge and skills, and learn by doing.

Show up as your authentic self

Bring your whole self to everything you do. Be true to who you are, own your authenticity, and recognize it isn’t a contradiction to professionalism.

Get sh*t done

Ideas and plans matter, but execution is everything. Roll up your sleeves, do the hard work, ship the thing. That’s how you learn, improve, and create real impact.

Operate with empathy

Have compassion and treat everyone like a human. This doesn’t mean relaxing standards, but it does mean acting with kindness no matter the circumstances.

Lift others up

Mentor generously, help others build skills and confidence to succeed, support where you can, and celebrate wins. Collaboration and teamwork lift all boats.
