VALUES
Communication
Making space for a diversity of opinions, freely expressed and carefully considered, by a wide variety of individuals, typically leads to a better outcome.
Communication means brainstorming, sharing, and evaluating all options to find the best solution.
There are no stupid questions.
Honesty
When I face challenges and obstacles, being honest means I evaluate, accept where I currently stand, create a plan, and move forward --with others-- to make things better.
One day at a time...
One moment at a time.
The truth always sets me free.
Integrity
I strive to uniquely hone my gifts and determine what makes a more harmonious alignment with others.
I solve for my current project's pressing needs.
"Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got." - Janis Joplin
EXPERIENCE
I've worked in technology leading digital platform development for 20+ years for national and global teams.
I'm currently a co-owner and staff project manager at Lullabot, supporting product launches, digital delivery, and customer engagement for government agencies.
