| 1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | My primary work is working in finance and operations. |
| 2. What role do you see as yours to play? | Given my background in finance and operations, I see my role as spearheading projects and managing budgets and stakeholders. |
| 3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | Though I see myself as working mostly in tech companies, I would like to move into the 'green' space (even if it is just climate tech, or climate-driven companies), but ideally for a nature-based design studio. |
| 4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are? | I am constantly striving for balance in my life - putting equal measures of energy and dedication into work, my relationships, health and self-care. |
| 5. And for professional growth? | I would like to grow my understanding of the regenerative framework, learn from indigenous practices, learn more about biomimicry (and try to develop to the best of my ability a technical understanding of it despite my lack of a biology background). I would also like learn about design thinking and applications. |
| 6. What have you invested in to get you where you are? | I've mostly invested in developing my skills in the realm of finance and data: becoming a CPA, learning various tools and SQL, etc. |
| 7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life? | Productivity: Tim Ferriss |
| 8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | I'm very much influenced by my mother, who was a refugee from Vietnam. She was extremely frugal and didn't waste anything and taught me how everything is interconnected and to respect nature, and so I've always held a whole systems approach to life and the world. I see how everything is connected, and nothing can ever be considered in a vacuum. I see humans as carrying a great responsibility in this interconnection of things, which for the most part we have been quite good at ignoring, to our own (and everything else's) detriment. |
