I love working with early-stage teams, because there's an opportunity for everyone to have an outsize impact on the company and help shape company culture. I enjoy working with people who are willing to teach others and be teachable themselves. I believe this is especially helpful in smaller teams, so everyone can learn to be a "generalist" of sorts. I occasionally require time to process input—if I don't speak up as much during a meeting, it just means that I'm focusing on analyzing information before making an informed judgement or opinion. I'm an introvert and can sometimes find large group calls draining. I prefer working 1:1 with others or with smaller groups to go deep when problem solving. I'm a huge advocate for work-life balance. (I've never considered bragging about the number of hours logged in a week to be a badge of honor.) That said, I will always make time for any urgent issues that arise!

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.
