More about me
I get a kick out of making things run better — figuring out what’s not working, and then quietly fixing it. There’s something oddly satisfying about turning messy corners into smooth systems, and helping people spend less time fussing with tools and more time doing what they’re great at. I think of operations as low-key magic: invisible when it works, but impossible to live without.
Why forests are important to me
Forests are full of wisdom. Every layer, from roots to canopy, plays its part in holding the whole system together. They remind me that thriving depends on connection, balance, and care, and that’s a model worth protecting.
Why Canopy
Canopy combines bold goals with thoughtful action. I was drawn to how the team takes vision and translates it into real, strategic change, and I’m proud to contribute to the work that makes that possible behind the scenes.

What ruffles my feathers
Messy systems, vague instructions, and tech that doesn’t do what it says it will.
If I were a wild animal, I’d be a beaver. Quietly determined and detail-oriented, beavers shape their environment in ways that support others. Like them, I value structure, community, and building things that last (even if most people don’t notice it’s me who built them).
