| 1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | My primary work is twofold - both through the organization I currently work for, Civilla. I work with state government to try and make them more human-centered and equitable for the most marginalized populations. At our organization, I work to try and create a workplace that honors our humanity, is built on reciprocity, and could be a model for living a more sustainable, impactful work-life. |
| 2. What role do you see as yours to play? | I'm a leader and follower on the team. I am there to keep us accountable to living out our mission and vision, to helping grow my team in ways that give them energy, to being direct with our partners and pushing them outside of their comfort zones and for taking responsibility for all of the work we engage in. |
| 3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | We are really focused on human-centered design, but want to expand and evolve to be more life-centered. |
| 4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are? | - Learn how to live in right relationship with the earth, especially while living in a city that doesn't make that easy. |
| 5. And for professional growth? | - Leading change efforts within our team to be more life-centered |
| 6. What have you invested in to get you where you are? | - Solo learning through books and discussion through book clubs |
| 7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life? | - Human-centered design |
| 8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | I'm not sure what my cosmology of life is. It's definitely evolving. I grew up with a Judaic perspective on how we came to this earth and our role in it that doesn't fully resonate, and hasn't for a long time. I believe humans have an outsized impact on the rest of the living world, given how recently we evolved. We need to live according to natural law, rather than human law. |
