How I work matters as much as what I make.
I believe in building mutual trust and respect — with clients, sources and audiences.
I seek out diverse perspectives, ask thoughtful questions and listen closely to the answers.
Armed with those insights, I aim to forge genuine human connections and serve the greater good through my work.
