I approach life and work with curiosity, intention, and heart.

I'm full of wins, losses, good-times, bad-times, you name it. However, here are a few beliefs that have gotten me to where I'm at today.

Working from a motel in Phoenix, Arizona. Breaking into the design industry.

1. Everything I do, is with passion.

Baseball was my first passion. This game taught me what it meant to be a part of something bigger than myself and how to work towards a common goal with a group.

2. Design is a team effort.

To me, relationships are everything. If you can build an environment of inclusiveness and safety, you can build something greater than you ever imagined.

3. Energy is Everything

I like to say: "Let's show up and blow up" or "I didn't show up to give up". It doesn't matter what we face, I'm going to bring the energy. Every single day.

My time at BMO.

I've spent the past 3 years at BMO Bank, supporting the U.S Business Banking team. I've earned an organizational award as BMO's Designer of the Year in 2021, driving high-impact features and advocating for best user experiences within the business banking application.

During my time at BMO, I'm most proud of the relationships that I've formed. Many of which extend beyond the design team.

I look forward to continuing my growth as a designer - which I have plenty to do!
