I’m genuinely fascinated by people: what motivates them, what makes someone exceptional at what they do, and how the right group of people can completely change the trajectory of a company. I love getting to know someone beyond their resume and understanding the experiences and decisions that shaped them. The best part of my work is building those relationships over time and getting to play a small role in bringing great people and companies together.
What’s a quality you value most in other people?Curiosity. I’m drawn to people who ask great questions, are genuinely interested in other people, and never assume they have everything figured out.
Do you have a favorite motto?“Do it scared!” I love this reminder that you don’t have to feel completely ready or fearless to take a chance. Some of the best decisions and biggest opportunities come from being willing to take the leap even when it feels a little scary.
When you’re not working, where can we find you?Most likely with the people I love. I’m incredibly close with my family and love spending time with my partner, Jackson—and lately, getting as much time as I can with my new nephew, Grayson. I love traveling, exploring new places, and finding great restaurants along the way. I’m always happy to share a favorite recommendation with friends. As I trade Southern California for the Bay Area, I’m excited to make a new place feel like home, discover our favorite local spots, and explore everything Northern California has to offer while staying firmly loyal to the Padres.
