Family: I'm close with both of my parents, and I have one brother, a sister-in-law, and an adorable nephew. I've been with my partner for a little more than 2 years, most of which was here in Austin! 

Outside of work, I love... collecting vinyl records and watching live music, practicing yoga and meditation, hanging with my dog Penny, playing softball and basketball, and exploring the outdoors with my partner, Rachel. 

My workplace superpower is... I'm a fast learner, have a competitive spirit, and love to contribute to the success of a team. I've jumped industries often and enjoy adapting my work style to the environment. 

Assessments: Controller (Predictive Index); INTJ (Myers Briggs)

What inspires me about working with associations: Associations often are doing the necessary and gritty work that takes a lot more courage than you would expect. Supporting them is a great way to get involved and feel great about your mission and purpose both in your career and in your personal life. 

My unique skills or passions: As a passionate person, it is natural to gravitate toward other passionate people. Getting on board with others' missions seems like a fruitful aspect of your job, and I look forward to seeing everyone’s passions come to life, work, and mesh together. 

Favorite SAM core value: Practice empathy. I believe this is the strongest core value because we often live our lives in a way that revolves around us—that's no secret and very normal. It's important to understand the plight of and empathize with others because it can be extremely helpful in navigating through life with different personalities, problems, etc., so your world view isn't so narrow. We aren't the only people here, and holding space for others is important to me in my personal life, as well as professional.
