I thrive in the details in a fast-paced environment, am passionate about developing the skills of my teams, and love writing code to solve problems. I am looking to use my experience in software project management and team building to help reduce climate change, clean up the oceans, and protect turtles. I love scuba diving and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in the field.
