About Me

About Me:

I was born and raised in Utah where I learned to love the rugged mountains and the people alike. From red rock deserts to alpine trails, Utah instilled in me a love of exploration and curiosity—traits I carry into how I approach work, learning, and leadership. I love playing and writing music on guitar, hiking, and camping.

I am a ready leader and team player ready to go. I lead with integrity and insight– using data, strategy, and collaboration to improve systems/projects, empower others, and deliver meaningful results.
