About

Data-driven, strategy consultant with experience solving challenging business problems for commercial, public, and non-profit clients. I am passionate about leveraging the power of data and technology to improve lives. I aspire to live by three core values in my professional and personal life: π—–π˜‚π—Ώπ—Άπ—Όπ˜€π—Άπ˜π˜† - Never stop learning. "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." Stephen Covey π—›π˜‚π—Ίπ—Άπ—Ήπ—Άπ˜π˜† - "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less." C.S. Lewis π—œπ—»π˜π—²π—΄π—Ώπ—Άπ˜π˜† - "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them." Brene Brown
