What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that are most important to me in both my work and personal life are balance, curiosity, and connection. I find inspiration and perspective through nature photography and cherish the time I spend with my two miniature schnauzers, which helps me stay grounded and energized in all that I do.
