On a journey to discover new passions, I once enrolled in a beginner pottery course. I spent weeks hovered over the wheel, learning how to center, extrude, and shape the ceramic creations of my dreams. Finally, when the course was done, I handed my pieces to my teacher to be fired in the kiln. He then lost them all, and I never saw any of those pieces again. My teacher also ghosted me, and I never got any of my money back.

​

Safe to say I'm fluent in disappointment and ideas that disappear. But despite encountering similar losses in my cross-stitching and skating ventures, you will always find me giving the same attention and creativity in the next one. And the next one. And that kind of hard-headed resilience, perseverance and all-in attitude is what I bring as a creative and team member.

Outside of the office, I am a certified personal trainer, a semi-retired k-pop fan (any CARATs in the house?), a casual block-printing enthusiast, and a glorified butler to a sassy basset hound.
