What Is Important:

Here are the values that guide my business and life:

1. Curiosity: We live in an amazing world and I want to know all about it.

2. Growth: I seek challenges to be the highest version of myself.

3. Courage: Curiosity and growth sometimes create scary situations. The commitment to courage keeps me moving forward.

4. Integrity: Do the right thing even when no one is looking.

5. Social Justice: Social justice is a calling of my life. I commit to more than DEI lip service. I will do the inner and outer work, even when the journey is hard.
