I love the energy and the feel in the building. The space is so conducive to working, thinking, innovating, etc.

I’ve spent my career launching and running entrepreneurial ventures. I’ve had many successes, but also some excellent failures! From ideation to small business management, I can guide young entrepreneurs through the process, helping educate them on the process, helping introduce them to resources, helping them avoid mistakes, and hopefully helping get them on the path to success.

Absolutely. As much as I’d like to say that my career has played out exactly as I planned, it has in fact been a series of pivots, with some good fortune mixed in for good measure. So the career choices I’ve made that have led me through my career can’t be explained with a formula or a strategic plan, but I would try to do them all over again!
