__Every year I like to check somewhere new off my travel bucket list.__ I’ve been lucky enough to visit some truly amazing places around the world, meeting wonderful people and eating incredible food along the way. For me, it’s the richness of the personal connections that inspires me and compels me to seek out as many cultures and natural majesties as possible.

<br>__Don’t follow a recipe, make it your own.__ I truly believe that everyone brings something unique and valuable to the table, no matter their experience or background. Wisdom comes from anyone, anywhere. This belief is integral to the M13 philosophy and lays the foundation for the dynamic and forward-thinking community that has evolved as a result.

<br>__I come from a very entrepreneurial family.__ My parents and brother are entrepreneurial business owners, so although I’ve never founded my own company, I’ve been surrounded and deeply inspired by their determination, enthusiasm, work ethic, and resourcefulness. I think those are the character traits of exceptional founders and exceptional companies, both of which can be found at M13.

<br>__I have always been a big team player.__ I’ve had the privilege of working with some great teams in my career and I’ve had amazing managers who’ve trusted me to try my hand at so many different finance and operational duties. As a result, I’ve developed well-rounded insights into a breadth of tasks and the confidence to know I can wear many hats. The fast-paced, growth-oriented environment at M13 affords me the opportunity to learn from the best in the industry, apply my diverse skill set, and develop new responsibilities.
