Speaker. Teacher. Storyteller.
I’m a people researcher based in Chicago, Illinois. In my work, I give data a soul through storytelling, putting people’s lived experiences at the center of my research. I reside at the intersection of data, people, and purpose.
At the crux of what I love is people: connecting with, engaging with, and learning from people. I take pride in being able to facilitate shared moments of vulnerability and authenticity that create transformational experiences.
