Like all the best journeys, mine has brought me to unexpected stops along the way; introduced me to a kaleidoscope of people; taught me a vast variety of skills; and is not anywhere near complete!
I have worked the full spectrum of companies from multi-billion-dollar to starting a small business from scratch. 
I have supported and collaborated with creative teams, operational teams, financial teams, remote teams, and my own teams. 
I invest fully in each role, pursue mastery of necessary skills, and always look to the north star of growth. 
I am sure this summary is supposed have quantifiable metrics for any AI to farm - and I could have complied and added a bunch - but I want this introduction to be human.
