My passion is to change broken and ineffective systems that cause people to die.
Three words to describe me:
passionate, dedicated, caring
The best part of my job:
being able to be a visionary and a strategic thinker, all while fixing or creating systems that help people thrive
Something that would surprise others about me:
I was a firefighter, and was voted firefighter of the year in 2011.
