Profile introduction
Type-A, Virgo, INFJ, latent New Yorker. A cauldron mix that results in a drive to get things done (at times sidestepping process), a proclivity towards candor (that can upset those who find comfort in lanes), an independent soul (that relishes her team), and an efficiency freak who thrives on heady banter. Driven to incorporate psychology, technology and how society is changing to help companies make fricking better decisions.
