While leaping from health care to higher education to publishing alongside an education defined by literary criticism, I have remained singularly motivated by the desire to learn. My personal life is filled with collecting hobbies and skills, pouring over YouTube tutorials, taking on challenging projects, and discovering new ways to record my entire life through Excel spreadsheets. (Most recent spreadsheet: my yarn collection inventory.) If there is something new to be learned or accomplished, and that something new can be packaged in a visually pleasing package, I’m there.

My curiosity has earned me a reputation such that catching up with friends often begins with, “What new hobby/skill/project/side quest are you working on now?” (The current answer: this website.) In my career, this has led to entering positions with absolutely no knowledge of the industry (or, sometimes, the position; as a 19-year-old English major, “Project Manager” was about as foreign to me as the healthcare industry altogether). Virtually every position I’ve held has started with a steep learning curve that I’ve had to combat through extensive (and sometimes frantic) Google searches and the kindness of coworkers. Ultimately, I’ve enjoyed being challenged through these positions and my own personal endeavours, and I hope to continue to learn and grow through exciting opportunities.

When I’m not seeking out the rush of completing an assignment that I’ve been chasing ever since the first time someone gave me an A in school, you can find me watching hockey (the team: no comment) and serving my two cats’ every need (their names: Charlie and Josie).
