THOUGHTFUL BIO

Growing up, I was an avid athlete involved year-round in multiple sports. In high school, I earned an International Baccalaureate diploma. In addition to offering challenging coursework, the IB program cultivated a worldview by encouraging students to consider the local and global context. In college, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, experiencing a complete immersion into Italian culture.

Fast forward to the present day, I still follow my deep interests in what makes people tick — gathering information in multiple ways. I am a thoughtful observer and listener, an avid reader, and always ready for a new adventure. I give curiosity a long leash and follow where it leads. I pursue learning for its own sake — not just to a particular outcome. While my passions and interests have changed over time, my desire for challenge, new experiences, and learning continue to shape my approach to work and life.

A core value of Thought Ensemble’s is “always growing.” As an organization, we value continued improvement over perfection. We make a habit of asking great questions to get to know our clients’ unique values, beliefs, and cultures. We are a collection of creative, resourceful, and adaptive people that seek transformational change.

At Thought Ensemble, I have found a community whose values align with my personal beliefs and enable me to work and learn in an environment that plays to my strengths and passions.
