How to reach me

  • Message me first (email or Slack) — I reply once I've had time to think, not instantly.

How to work with me

When working with me, think of our communication as a well-choreographed dance. I appreciate a balance between directness and warmth, so I aim to keep our exchanges smooth and engaging. I prefer gentle feedback and clear expectations, much like a skateboarder setting up their stance before dropping in. Please be patient and considerate, as I thrive in environments where I feel truly heard and understood. I often need verification on details to avoid ambiguity, so don’t hesitate to clarify when necessary.

In our interactions, I value deep dives into topics that matter. Like a chess player strategizing their next move, I appreciate thoughtful discussions that allow us to explore ideas thoroughly. I’m more comfortable with asynchronous communication, so let’s keep our exchanges flexible. If you can provide feedback in a gentle manner, it will help me navigate through challenges more effectively. Together, we can create an atmosphere that fosters understanding and collaboration.
