A Love of Travel
I love to travel! My introduction to a world outside my own started at a very young age by taking the road-trip less traveled from the back of a station wagon…and has evolved into spending a week in research lodges in the Amazon jungle, painting murals for a Montessori school that serves underprivileged children in Guatemala, and a 24-hour whirlwind tour of Helsinki and so many multi-cultural adventures in-between. The ability to see the world through someone else’s eyes, have meaningful conversations with people in other countries, and walk down the path that others cross provides a way to increase your perspective, make the world smaller and step outside of preconceived expectations. 

Favorite Quote
“If there is time to fix it, then there is time to do it right the first time.”
– This is a quote from my father, which as been an underlying factor to the level of quality that drives the excellence of work that my team has produced throughout my entire career.
