My Strengths, In Practice

🛠 Restorative

I love breaking down problems to their root cause—and finding solutions that don’t just patch things, but truly fix them.

💡Ideation

I bring creative energy to every challenge, constantly seeking fresh angles, unexpected links, and bold new concepts.

🎼 Arranger

Whether it’s building an MVP or organizing a team sprint, I excel at managing complexity and coordinating moving parts.

🎯Strategic

I thrive in ambiguity, quickly identifying patterns and paths forward, especially when time and clarity are limited.

💬 Empathy

I lead with emotional awareness, creating space for collaboration, trust, and human-centered design decisions.

These five themes reflect how I approach problems, people, and projects.
