I'm a builder at heart. I grew up wired to find problems worth solving and think through more innovative ways to approach them. The obvious answer rarely interests me as much as what's hiding just behind it. I love creating: products, solutions, ideas, things that didn't exist before. Learning is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. New technology, new fields, a book that reshapes how I see something; expanding my mind is what I live for. The rest of life's best things are much simpler: playing soccer (poorly, but enthusiastically), watching way too much sports (Bears, Bulls, Tar Heels), traveling, eating great food, and spending time with the people I love: my husband, my friends, my family, and of course my very opinionated cat Stewie ↗.
