Here's what you need to know
I am a Seattle-grown, die-hard Beyoncé and RuPaul's Drag Race fan, and I can rap Busta Rhymes' verse in "Look At Me Now".
I have a deep love for people and learning about the beliefs, behaviors, and interactions that make them THEM. I live to gather, understand, and delight.
My Work Values
(and what they mean to me)
To me, integrity in the workplace means consistently being honest, transparent, and practicing ethical principles in all my actions and interactions.
This looks like taking responsibility for my decisions, honoring commitments, and fostering trust among colleagues and stakeholders, ultimately contributing to a positive and reputable work environment.
INTEGRITY
Equity in the workplace ensures fairness, inclusion, and opportunity for all. It's important to me to work somewhere that strives to be a level playing field and where individuals are judged based on their merits, not their backgrounds or identities.
This looks like advocating for diversity, implementing unbiased policies and DE&I initiatives, and fostering an environment where every voice is heard and respected, leading to a more vibrant and empowered workforce.
EQUITY
To me, creativity in the workplace means embracing diverse perspectives, thinking outside the box, and encouraging experimentation to drive meaningful change.
This means fostering a culture where ideas are valued, risks are encouraged, and individuals feel empowered to flex their imagination, ultimately leading to breakthroughs and innovations.
CREATIVITY
Having opportunities to grow in my work fuels my ambition, keeps me engaged, and allows me to unlock my full potential as a team contributor.
Fostering growth means embracing clear and insightful feedback, having dedicated support and conversations around professional development, getting to learn new skills and tackle fresh challenges, and ultimately thriving in my career.
GROWTH
As someone with diagnosed ADHD, it's important to me to have autonomy in my workplace so that I'm empowered to work in a way that brings out my best, with the freedom to take charge of my tasks and ownership for my contributions.
Autonomy means trusting me to manage my time and priorities in a way that suits my strengths, providing me with a more fulfilling work experience.
AUTONOMY
Our words and actions have impact and consequences, which is why careful consideration is important to me in the work I do. I want to understand why I do what I do, so that my work feels more fulfilling.
By being deliberate and purposeful in decisions, teams are empowered, have stronger trust and credibility, as well as communicate and understand one another better.
INTENTIONALITY
Strength Finders told me that I'm really good at:
Adaptability: I'm flexible and open-minded. I work well under pressure and can handle unforeseen detours with ease.
Winning Others Over (WOO): I have the social intelligence, instinct, and influence to impact all different kinds of people.
Empathy: I not only see people, I understand them. I understand them because I feel what they are feeling. This gives me the ability to connect and anticipate their needs naturally.
Communication: I thrive when given an opportunity to present ideas, thoughts, and feelings with clarity, excitement, and power.
Positivity: I find the good in the bad. I bring energy when morale is low. I'm a cheerleader who is driven by the opportunities rather than the limitations.
