About

I'm drawn to work that involves understanding how people think through important decisions. With a background in psychology, I focus on listening carefully, identifying what’s holding clarity back, and structuring conversations so choices feel more grounded and informed. I enjoy breaking down complex problems, using feedback and data to refine approaches, and building trust through clear, honest communication. I’m interested in roles where curiosity, judgment, and problem-solving matter.
