"The Wright Brothers didn't have a pilot's license." - Gordon MacKenzie

When I first read this in Orbiting the Giant Hairball as a young creative, nothing spoke to my soul more. In a world of "can'ts," I'm driven to find the "cans." In a world of "we never do" I love asking, "Why not?" This perspective on life has driven me since I was a young child. Maybe it's because I was the bonus baby of eight, maybe it's because I wasn't allowed coloring books (art teacher mom thought it would squelch my creativity). Whatever it was I'm thankful that my perspective on life has allowed me the freedom to be a creative problem solver.

​Working most of my professional career in non-profits, the qualities of adaptability, life-long learning, and storytelling have come in handy. The ability to think outside of the box and look differently at things has allowed me to take organizations to the next level or to a deeper understanding of where they want to go and how they want to connect.
