Connecting the dots between individuals, practice groups, and clients is my super power. I’m a scrappy problem solver: whether putting together a plan or rolling up my sleeves, I’ll find a way to get it done. I’ve had interesting past lives and each position gave me room to grow in different directions, stretching my professional muscles and developing niche skills.
