I like to help people communicate ideas.

About Me

I am a visual thinker with an analytical mind who can bridge the creativity-technology divide between creative and technical teams. I thrive in multicultural, collaborative environments and enjoy work that broadens perspectives. My experience has shown me that strong communicators can learn any content. I’ve excelled as an individual contributor, leader, strategist, and content creator, and I embrace it all.

Truth be told, I’m a little bit Type A, but I don’t take myself too seriously (my last name spelled backwards is "noserub," after all).
