Summary
Driven by curiosity, my career path has taken me through a diverse array of roles, each contributing uniquely to my understanding of the world and my place in it. Though my professional journey has spanned different industries (Retail, CPG, Equine, Ad Tech), a consistent theme has been my dedication to pushing boundaries. I find that my personal passions for rock climbing, paragliding, and training horses mirror the same principles I value in my career: resilience, patience, humility, and the pursuit of growth. I deeply respect the learning process and a commitment to thoughtful, continuous improvement.
