How do I help our clients live a richer life?
I lived abroad for several years and have traveled to dozens of countries. In these travels across cultures, languages, and geographies, I recognized a series of fundamental shared values, including hard work, honesty, and friendliness. These values are also fundamental pieces of the unique culture of Brighton Jones.

By placing a strong personal emphasis on values like hard work, honesty, and approachability as the growth and operations manager for the Southwest region, I strive to create strong relationships with both clients and colleagues. I believe that this approach creates an environment in which clients can truly live a richer life.

How do I align my time and money with my values and passions to Live a Richer Life?
Originality is my guidepost as I strive to live a life that “gets up off the page.” Having lived in Japan for several years and obtaining a Master’s Degree in Japan Studies, I am fluent in Japanese and always looking for ways to utilize that skill. I love studying languages, and I can find practicing German or Norwegian on my phone nightly. I align my passion for grassroots internationalization with my value of connection through my board membership of the Phoenix Sister Cities – Himeji, Japan Committee. To continue gaining knowledge of other people and cultures, I add a new country to my travel resume each year. While at home, I love to spend quality time with friends and family or tend to my ever-growing backyard cactus collection.
