My core values

The best environment for me is:

space for deep work in the PM

Night owl, here. 

I learn best by…

doing itwriting it downpairing with a teammate

If I'm working alongside someone, I want to watch me do it while I say what I'm doing and correct me where I'm flubbing up. Also happy to learn on my own, if given the time/space to focus. Am a major course hoarder. (Except I actually do them, unlike most.)

My areas for growth

Maintains effective work life balanceBalances internal resources effectivelyMakes decisions promptly, even with uncertainty

I can sometimes get bogged down in doing things "the right way" when more growth-minded teammates want to just get something shipped. Trying to get more balanced in my approach so I don't drive everyone crazy.

How I stand out

Intentional and strategic project planningCreates warm, caring relationships with teammatesPrioritizes common good over self-interestStays composed throughout conflict or difficult situationsStays true to own values with integrity

I'm a die-hard future proofer. I want everything documented and as few quick fixes as possible. Nothing gives me greater joy than to build out systems that will support long-term viability, quick onboarding, squash confusion... Also smiley on calls.
