Efficiency and performance are often linked.

The most efficient people I’ve met are also some of the highest performers. I contribute by managing time, schedules and juggling priorities to maximize everyone’s productivity. I love working behind-the-scenes to elevate our team’s success. 

Being on the Platform team, I get to work with everyone.

Thoroughness and attention to detail are a big part of my role. My team knows I will go above and beyond every time, do my own research, check with multiple sources and make everything align for all stakeholders. My team’s success is a reflection on me, so ensuring they are receiving high level support is my main priority.  

Bugs are not food.

I am already a picky eater, so there is no way I am eating bugs. How did this even become a thing? Why? Why? Why?  

Small talk cheat sheet:

True crime cases, conspiracy theories, beagles and dessert!
