About me

I am a native of Cape Cod, where I currently live.

My work

As the Director of Learning & Development at the Wikimedia Foundation, I lead a team that strives to ensure that: our people are well-equipped with the mindsets and skills required to solve the complex challenges before us, we live our values, and we support and challenge each other in pursuit of our mission.

I am humbled and inspired by the Wikimedia movement every day, and strive for excellence on its behalf.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
