My biggest fear

Being in conflict or separated from others, being without connection

Having a community is really important to me and espescially in person connection. The pandemic was very difficult for me as someone that lives alone.

My Achilles Heel is…

I can get sucked into time sucking tangents while working on projects sometimes. I have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture to do a double check on if that question I am tracking down is really worth the effort.

😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

Driving the electric boat for the Neighborhood event. Not my finest hour. 

Delayed reaction on the wheel and lots of wind made it pretty stressful!

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

I might go quiet and introspective if I am stressed.

Give me a little bit of time to process if possible.

Most fulfilling project I've worked on

The launch of the pilot for Neighborhoods. Seeing people so excited to be connected on Neighborhood slack channels and realizing that there were other employees located near them was hugely gratifying!

Seeing the impact that we made to people's feeling of connection through our work was really rewarding.

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Putting a lot of energy into a project or document that ends up not being used or seen as valuable.

It means that I have wasted that time and can be demotivating.

How I relax

I love to read and watch tv. I am an extroverted introvert so while I love interacting with people I recharge by having alone time.

I also love having my bi-yearly beach getaways with my core group of women friends. They understand that I need occasional down time to read my kindle on the couch in between chatting and exploring.

Things that deeply motivate me…

Helping others ❤️Being my most authentic self 🎨

I have found that if I am my most authentic self then I can more easily connect with others. I have found that I thrive in the role of the people connector or host. I really value being able to make others feel welcome and find that same authentic connection whoever they are.
