Core Strengths

I have found a strengths based approach to leadership and personal development to be very helpful. If you are into that kind of thing, here are my top strengths from Clifton Strengths Finder.

Responsibility

I take ownership of what I commit to and hold myself to a high standard of integrity. When I say I’ll do something, I follow through — people know they can depend on me.

Relator

I value genuine, meaningful relationships and do my best work with people I trust. I care deeply about connection and collaboration, and I build relationships that last.

Learner

I’m naturally curious and energized by growth. I love diving into new topics, mastering new skills, and sharing what I learn along the way.

Ideator

I’m drawn to ideas — especially the ones that connect unexpected dots. I love exploring possibilities, finding creative solutions, and bringing fresh perspectives to familiar challenges.

Analytical

I look for patterns, logic, and clarity in everything I do. I enjoy untangling complexity, asking thoughtful questions, and helping others see things more clearly.

Making things with my hands is creatively fulfilling. I love using foraged materials to dye thrifted or recycled fabrics.
