GOOD TO KNOW
WORK PHILOSOPHY
I strive to continually deliver mutually beneficial products that grow users and the business, using lean & Agile methods, while contributing to high-performance team culture. TL;DR: what we do is as important as how we do it.
BACKGROUND
Born to entrepreneurs in a small town, I learned the importance of being a self-starter within a community. This moulded me into a person with a get-things-done attitude who values teamwork. I'm always eager to try new things, at work or in my personal life.
INVOLVEMENT & AWARDS
My sense of community drives me to stay involved in the industry. I enjoy meeting new people, learning things & exchanging ideas. I give back through mentoring, committee, and charity work. I'm honoured to have received the following nominations & awards for some of those contributions.
