Everyone says an #introduction is a must so here goes mine!

• Live in #Chicago
• Introduced to #programming ~18 years ago via #informix and #php.
• Met the #Python community along the way and fell in love, spent more than a decade helping grow the #community, now the former Executive Director of the Python Software Foundation (aka #psf)
• Years of #MeetingPlanning experience
• Love #weightlifting and a newly minted #marathoner (ran #ChicagoMarathon in 2022, running the #BerlinMarathon in 2023!). Love #gardening and about to start some seeds for the spring.
• I am building a more impactful way for businesses to handle vendor security questionnaires and tooling to assist with customer-facing security programs. #infosec
• Running a #startup is a new adventure for me so I am here to pick up any knowledge nuggets and experiences folks have to share.
• I love talking about effective #leadership and #management skills.
• I am passionate about team building and building a positive culture at the workplace.

I am raising funds for #PAWSChicago (no kill humane animal shelter) as part of the #BerlinMarathon. That's where our furbaby #Enzo is from and would mean the world to many animals if you donated: https://my.pawschicago.org/TEAMPAWSBerlin2023/Donate/ #donate
