I live to empower others to shed their fear and insecurities surrounding learning and using technology. I believe that everyone can learn to thrive in this age of technological intelligence by understanding the origins and foundation of technology and tapping into the creative side of the brain, allowing them to experiment and embrace failure as a natural part of their personal growth.
My passion for helping others and my love for technology have shaped my career in public accounting. My affinity for facilitating change within an organization is paramount to my work helping businesses design and automate their business processes using cutting-edge technologies. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of community and the magic that is created when people work together toward the same purpose.
