“Being nice to people is the easiest career competitive advantage."
▉ Work
"I’m a People Advisory Services manager at Ernst & Young LLP, based out of San Francisco by way of Nashville and Chicago. I also recently spent a year on a rotation with the Americas Innovation team."
▉ Community
"With my recent role in Americas Innovation, I’ve had an inside look at the incredible work EY is doing to help our clients navigate a continuously disruptive market and the fascinating new products and tools we’re developing. As a cherry on top, I helped support the EY Bay Area Entrepreneur Of The Year® Awards by participating in interviews with founders and at the awards ceremony. I look forward to getting more involved with EY Ripples and giving back to the Bay."
▉ Life
"I’m fairly new to the Bay Area after moving from Chicago in June 2021, but I have already felt at home. I love live music and the privilege to go out and see shows again. This past year has brought a lot of joy back to my life — plus, it’s been a great way to explore this beautiful new city! I play a little piano as well, and otherwise like to spend my down time traveling, hiking and reading — with a goal to read 30 books this year."
