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. Period.
​
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.
​
6. Play: Play, fun and humor are the sweeteners of life. They are also the best ways to learn and heal.
