My Values

My core values are the three below. I strive to bring each to my daily interactions, to my work, and to my decision-making.

Growth

Growth applies to both myself and others. I am dedicated to constantly improving, to being creative and open to new ideas, and to being up for a challenge when it comes my way. Growth also means that I consistently show up to support others in their growth.

Growth looks like taking opportunities outside my comfort zone and encouraging others to do the same.
Growth sounds like a lively discussion and “sure, why not?”
Growth feels hard but is oh so satisfying.

Compassion

Compassion refers to treating others right. It means being thoughtful of other people's concerns; it means being dependable with tasks and being on time; and most importantly, it means standing up for myself and others.

Compassion looks like being aware of unmet needs and doing my best to fulfill them.
Compassion sounds like checking in with people and community agreements.
Compassion feels like a hug from a friend or a deep breath before you speak up against issues.

Joy

Joy means making spaces safe. It means creating a supportive environment, showing generosity, being thankful, and staying humble. Embodying joy means that I bring enthusiasm to all the work that I do.

Joy looks like smiling faces and relaxed shoulders.
Joy sounds like asking for help and celebrating wins together.
Joy feels like a warmth in my chest and a skip in my step when I head to work.
