What is your unique genius? How do you bring it to your work at Blue Engine?

I’m a listener. I believe that truly seeking to understand another – their values, their experiences, their emotions – is the foundation upon which strong relationships are built. As a thoughtful and curious listener, I’m able to build authentic connections and more deeply understand our partners’ contexts and communities.

What do you love about working at Blue Engine?

I love working with such a thoughtful, creative and supportive team. As a learning organization, Blue Engine walks the walk – constantly innovating, modeling the importance of feedback and collaboration, and elevating each person’s strengths. There is such an important and unique balance of pushing each other’s thinking while also respecting and valuing each other’s expertise and experiences.
