I've worked for several Fortune 100 companies, built my career from a background in finance to a career in technology and Gen AI. I graduated from Drake University with a 'mullet' bachelor's degree (finance & marketing) and went on to complete my masters in data science and now work within enterprise architecture. I am a firm believer in having an abundant and growth oriented mindset, as well as the power of Newton's first law of motion (the law of inertia) to carry us through chaotic and uncertain times to live the nonlinear lives of our dreams. I'm passionate about technical literacy, designing with humans in mind, developing with strategy and not just the allure of a shiny object, to create the world we want to live in.
