I have never been good at staying in one lane. I've been a photograher, general manager, product development, professor, consultant, entrepreneur, event planner, researcher, curriculum development and have somehow found myself evaluating AI. On paper it probably looks random, but to me it's always been the same thing. I like figuring things out, I am curious about the world, and I love learning. I enjoy messy problems. The kind where everyone has a different opinion, there isn't an obvious answer, and someone needs to step back and make sense of it (systems thinker). Sometimes that means strategy, sometimes research, sometimes training, and sometimes just asking better questions. I don't claim to know everything, but I learn fast, think critically, and genuinely enjoy helping people move an idea from "this is a mess" to action and "this actually works."
