About Me.
For my entire life, I have always had a passion for getting things done in the most efficient way possible. Removing the menial, robotic work from our day-to-day lives allows us to focus on the things that take our dreams and lives further. Since discovering what can be achieved with Smartsheet, I have focused my work to help businesses unlock significant efficiency gains through enhanced collaboration with workflow automation, increased visibility, and transparency to ensure effort is expanded on the right priorities.
As a lifelong learner, academic, and project manager by trade, I combine my leadership skills and knowledge on delivering complex change at a global level through leveraging technology to free up people to focus on value-add activities.
