I learn best by…

doing it

I’m a hands-on learner. I appreciate thorough and informative training guides that I can always refer back to, but I won’t really understand and know how to do something until I do it. I also ask a lot of questions, but only after I have tried to figure it out myself first.

How I try to show up at work

A fun fact about me is…

I'm a boomerang volunteer at the Oakland Zoo.

I was a "teen wild guide" in high school, educating guests about animals in the children zoo. Then I became a camp counselor, leading the children during Zoo Camp. Most recently, I was an animal care volunteer (my favorite) where I basically was an assistant for the Zookeepers.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMmeeting block then deep work block

Having a block of meetings helps me to get a clear view of the work that needs to be done. Following that with a block of deep work allows me to actually get that work done.

How I relax cover image

How I relax

Walking with friends

It's a (literal) breath of fresh air and the best way for me to decompress. Getting to simultaneously exercise out the stress while also talking about it and/or talking about other things lets me be really in the moment and relax.
