About Me

Interests and Hobbies

  • kayaking
  • art and craft projects
  • reading

I’m fascinated with how we learn and grow, as individuals, organizations, and cultures. My personal motto is Ancora Imparo, which means “Still, I am learning.” I intend never to stop.

Sadly Non-Marketable Skills

  • Impressive chops at Scrabble, Wordle, charades, crosswords, and Beyond Balderdash
  • Selective but extensive trivia knowledge (the brown, pink, and yellow triangles in Trivia Pursuit, mostly), including an encyclopedic knowledge of selected musical theater lyrics
  • Top-notch parallel parking skills
