About Me
I believe deeply in fair play and psychological safety, and work hard at making everyone I work with feel seen, heard, and invested. The best work comes from collaboration over consensus; The former treats everyone as a partner, whereas the latter treats everyone has a gate to be passed.
Growing up in a large family with over 80 cousins taught me communication and perspective - you must speak for what you feel strongly about, but remember that you aren’t the main character.
I also understand how to build and foster community - I was the president of the HEMA Alliance, the governing body for historical fencing, and I quadrupled it’s club roster and increased memberships by over 500%. I founded a fencing club in Denver 8 years ago that now has over 200 members in its vibrant community.
Personal
- I foster and rescue dogs who were breeding animals at abusive puppymills. Do not let me near shelter websites.
- I love cooking, sewing, thrifting, and renovations to my midcentury modern home for my creative outlets.
- Recreation-wise I love camping, cookouts, hiking, working out, and training for a Hyrox solo race for some reason.
