I’ve always believed that experience is our best teacher. I started volunteering at a very young age, getting involved with Minneapolis’ vibrant music scene before I could even drive. From there, I began to start my own projects - a digital arts magazine, a performing arts co-op, a freelance photography practice. This taught me the value of developing a vision, recruiting talented collaborators, and leading a team towards a shared purpose.

Along the way, I’ve picked up valuable skillsets. From market research to engagement strategy to UX design - I’ve always believed that there is a pathway towards success and with enough dedication, and a whole lot of collaboration, you can realize your vision.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing organizations, including community-driven art museums, non-profit alliances, and industry leading technology companies.

Currently, I’m a UX researcher at Vizient, where I lead research initiatives, facilitate strategy workshops, and inform product strategy with user insights. Alongside that role, I facilitate a year-long Leadership Longevity fellowship with New Sector Alliance, designed to build leadership resiliency and organizational sustainability for mission-driven organizations.
