My Mission
I aim to bring sustainable and human-centered design to every project I engage with, both professional and personal. I believe in equity and I will direct my education to advance it with thoughtful altruism. I am excited to develop and drive new technologies, but never without considering the implications of bringing those ideas into reality.
My Core Values
- Honesty and open Communication
- Sustainability
- Reliability
- Assuming positive intent
- Longtermism
- Optimism
You can trust me to reflect on and uphold these values daily. I am human, and I will make mistakes, but I am wholly committed to being better each and every day.
Bias
The first step towards fixing a problem is recognizing there is one. I recognize that I hold many implicit biases. When I notice I’ve expressed a microagression, I reach out and apologize. In order to be proactive, I am making a directed effort to read books about the many -isms of the world so that I can recognize both my own mistakes and have better conversations with other people. Please feel free to send me readings, articles, or examples that you have found helpful so that I can incorporate them into my thinking.
I’m open to all feedback
