Summary
I’m a natural tinkerer who loves breaking things down to their core and rebuilding them, always looking for opportunities to learn from that process and grow. I thrive on simplifying complex ideas and creating those “ah-ha” moments for others, whether it’s for colleagues or prospects. I’m excited about the chance to dive into the things that keep people up at night, understand what drives them, and help guide them toward a better future.
