Make it memorable
I'm passionate about creating unforgettable experiences. While my focus is always on delivering successful event outcomes, I also strive to make a meaningful impact.
Jess, never have I ever understood as well how much it takes to put on a quality event. You are so gifted in your work and you have made this the best CKO ever. I cannot thank you enough for driving the quality so very high. We are so lucky to have you.

Jess, you raised the bar on how we show up at trade shows and it hasn't been easy picking up where we left off. Alongside your responsibilities for CKO, the Summit launch, and API Days, you've handled every moment with grace throughout, even when it's been scrappy, and delivered a strong result. Thank you for your leadership!

Jess, you are the best. I don't know how you do it, but this was the best Opticon yet and a big deal for the future of the company, really. It was perfect, and I can't thank you enough.

Values
As a manager and teammate, I work to build a shared vision rooted in collective ownership and clear agreements. I nurture cross-functional relationships where shared challenges deepen trust, communication is open, and diverse perspectives contribute to strong, well-rounded decisions.
Lifelong learner
I proactively seek feedback and input. The best way to grow is to be curious of others viewpoints and approach every situation with active listening, openness, and humility.
Clear is kind
I want my commitment to human well-being to shine through in everything I do. Success means not only ensuring everyone understands their expectations but also aligning them on what’s achievable.
Empower others
I set myself and others up to do their best work by setting shared goals, ensuring stakeholder recognition, and maintaining consistent communication, collaboration, and visibility.
