I was raised to believe every single person has gifts and talents to offer. My mother encouraged me to, “Pick a direction and GO.”
Every life experience gives you a new perspective, so you can connect with someone new.
I hope the next new person is you.
My variety of experience comes from an insatiable curiosity. I’ve mined qualitative and quantitative data to tell a story as a multicultural media buyer. I’ve moved to Puerto Rico, site unseen, so I could run advertising campaigns (which I knew how to do) in a language that I didn’t know. I founded a startup that enjoyed 30% growth in revenue monthly. I’ve immersed myself into the world of Data Science. I’ve managed all the product and operations at a lean, high-growth cyber security startup. I’ve been the first in-house hire and I’ve grown a team from the original founders to fifteen team members across the globe. Most recently, I’ve become a fellow at a VC firm and now get a front row seat to new technologies that are being funded in the Midwest.
I’ve had great mentors who’ve helped me discover my gifts and talents.
