Summary
I believe in creating workability for people, for communities, and for the world around us. Having spent the last few years as a dot connector and communicator, I've built my career by finding creative solutions in the face of adversity. Working at the intersection of advocacy and action to enhance human potential has been a career-long goal for me. I believe that spreading knowledge is spreading wealth, and advocate for education, self-sufficiency, and self- responsibility.
