1. Willing to openly have difficult conversations2. Makes decisions promptly, even with uncertainty3. Mentors and develops teammates for their growth

I'm learning to be more comfortable with uncertainty. The logical part of me often tends to overthink things by trying to assess all possibilities and outcomes, but in many cases that turns out to be a futile exercise. One of my best takeaways from working with startups is to experiment quickly, learn fast from mistakes, and iterate accordingly. I'm working on being more decisive and making the most informed decisions with the best knowledge I have. I've gotten better at handling difficult conversations, but I know I can improve by having those conversations sooner rather than later. I strive for harmony and would like to think that I'm a diplomatic person, but that makes me adverse to conflict. I'm learning to move faster by actively vocalizing/surfacing issues as they arise, and not wait for things to deteriorate further before addressing them.

A bit about me...

Future of Work enthusiastStartup OperatorCareer GeneralistMarathonerTheater loverPolyglot

As someone who gravitates towards mission-driven organizations, I spent my early career as a generalist at local and global nonprofits, with roles in project management, fundraising, and stakeholder relations. As gratifying as it was to witness the impact of these incredible organizations on the communities they serve, the constant financial and organizational challenges led me to pursue an MBA and make a career change. I crave to be part of an agile, scalable organization that sits at the intersection between profit and purpose, and found my fit in the startup world. In recent years, I've been focused on the Future of Work industry, including roles at HR tech companies that are humanizing the recruiting and culture-building process. I believe in the importance of helping people find meaning and belonging at work since careers are such a huge part of our identities. I love working with startups that make it easier for companies and candidates to build transparency, authenticity, and trust with each other.
