🧠How I Think
I’m a vertical and lateral thinker…
This means I approach problems differently than most linear thinkers.
I go deep before I go broad. I instinctively map systems—surfacing root causes, spotting patterns, and understanding downstream impacts. I also think laterally, drawing insights across disciplines and behavioral science to reframe problems and spark creative, durable solutions.
I process deeply and connect across systems—then turn that insight into strategic action.

🧠How I Work Best
Because of how I process information, I thrive when there’s space for clarity and alignment before action.
You’ll see me:
Zoom out to map the system before proposing solutions
Ask upstream and downstream questions others might not consider
Connect dots between people, data, decisions, and long-term impact
Move fast after I have signal—turning insight into decisive execution
I’m not the loudest voice in the room, and I don’t speak just to fill space. But when I contribute, it’s intentional, strategic, and connected to something bigger than the task at hand.
If you ever need a fast summary in a live setting, just ask:
“Can you give me the headline first?”
I’ll meet you there—and build context as needed.
🌱 My Optimal Environment
I thrive in environments that make space for depth, humanity, and strategic clarity—where what we build, and how we build it, both matter.
I have the trust and autonomy to lead with purpose and conviction
There’s psychological safety to challenge assumptions and speak truthfully
I work with emotionally mature, mission-driven collaborators who care about the impact
Roles, priorities, and vision are clear, so energy flows toward progress—not confusion
I feel respected, useful, and able to bring my full self and skillset to the table
Progress is celebrated—and that includes people, not just output
I’m given space to think, synthesize, and move intentionally—not reactively
There’s clarity, alignment, and follow-through, not just ideas in motion
🚫 Where I Don’t Thrive
Some environments simply don’t support the kind of thinking and strategic depth I bring, so I may not be the right fit where:
🔥 Urgency Is the Default
Always-on fire drills that treat reflection as a delay, and reward reaction over direction. I work best when urgency is used with intention—not treated as a strategy.
🧱 Voice Is Silenced by Hierarchy
Rigid top-down structures where feedback doesn’t flow freely, decisions happen in silos, and collaboration is performative rather than genuine.
🌀 Speed Replaces Systems Thinking
When ideas are rushed to execution without exploring their impact across teams, tech stacks, or the user experience—it leads to fragmentation, not progress.
🎠Optics Matter More Than Outcomes
Environments where presentation is prioritized over truth, where authenticity is treated as risk, or where the goal is to appear innovative rather than be impactful.
