Leadership. Learning. Community.
Building connections, developing people and creating meaningful opportunities for impact.
A little about me
I am a leader, lifelong learner and advocate for the power of education, curiosity and community.Throughout my career, I have been passionate about developing people, creating meaningful learning experiences and bringing ideas to life. My work spans science education, youth engagement, organizational leadership and community involvement.I believe great leadership is grounded in curiosity, collaboration and a commitment to helping others succeed.
How I Lead
I lead with curiosity, clarity, and trust, creating an environment where people can contribute ideas, ask questions, take ownership, and learn along the way.I believe in setting a clear direction without prescribing every step, giving people the space and support to find better ways forward. For me, leadership is about helping people grow, strengthening what we can accomplish together, and creating lasting impact.
What inspires me
After nearly two decades in learning, I'm still energized by the moment when curiosity takes hold and someone begins to see something differently.I’m inspired by learning in all its forms, by people who challenge conventional thinking, and by communities that come together around a shared purpose.I love turning ideas into experiences, exploring new approaches, and creating opportunities for people to discover something they did not know before. At the heart of it all is a simple idea: helping people see possibility.
Leadership & People
One of the responsibilities I value most as a leader is developing the people around me. That means recognizing individual strengths, creating opportunities for growth, setting clear expectations, and giving people the trust and support they need to take ownership of their work.I’m passionate about building teams where people learn from one another, bring different perspectives to the table, and feel confident challenging ideas and exploring new approaches. I value coaching, honest conversations, shared accountability, and clarity around where we are going and why it matters.I’m continually learning as a leader, too. Leadership requires reflection, adaptability, and a willingness to listen, adjust, and sometimes rethink our own assumptions.The impact I value most is seeing others grow in confidence, capability, and influence, and watching what becomes possible when people are empowered to lead.
Education & Innovation
For nearly 20 years, STEM learning has been at the heart of my professional life. I've had the opportunity to see what happens when science moves beyond simply sharing information and becomes something people can experience, question, explore, and make their own.Those years have shaped my belief that great learning is not measured only by what someone knows at the end of an experience. It is also found in the questions they leave asking, the confidence they develop, and whether they are curious enough to keep exploring.Innovation is a natural extension of that work. I’m drawn to new ideas, emerging technologies, and different ways of designing learning. To me, innovation is not about pursuing something new simply because it is new. It is about experimenting thoughtfully, listening closely, learning from what works, and continually finding better ways to serve people.I’m especially interested in the intersection of education, science, technology, and human connection, and how those elements can make learning more engaging, relevant, and accessible.After almost two decades, I remain convinced that some of the most powerful learning begins with a simple moment of curiosity: “What if?”
Community & Governance
For more than 15 years, nonprofit board and governance work has been an important part of how I contribute to my community. Serving in governance roles has given me a different perspective on leadership: one grounded in stewardship, accountability, long-term thinking, and responsibility to the people and communities an organization exists to serve.It has also taught me that good governance is rarely about having the easiest answer. It requires listening to different perspectives, asking thoughtful and sometimes difficult questions, balancing immediate needs with long-term priorities, and remaining anchored in an organization's purpose.That experience has strengthened my appreciation for the role strong organizations play in strong communities. I’m particularly drawn to opportunities that bring people and organizations together, build meaningful partnerships, and create progress that no one person or organization could achieve alone.For me, community leadership ultimately comes down to showing up, contributing thoughtfully, and leaving organizations and communities stronger because we chose to be involved.
Curiosity. Connection. Contribution.
Good things happen when curious people come together around a shared purpose.My work and interests continue to bring me back to the same things: developing people, creating better learning experiences, exploring new ideas, and contributing to stronger communities.I'm always interested in meeting people who are thinking about these things too, sharing perspectives, and discovering what we can learn from one another.Let’s connect.
