  4. The hours I tend to work

    Asynchronous comms are the way to go, but my hours change with the seasons.

  5. The best ways to communicate with me

    We’re all busy people and we all have different styles of communicating, so I’m detailing mine here for you.

  6. The ways I like to receive feedback

    When we’re busy and we’re not thinking, we might leave half of the conversation in our head when we ask something of someone. That can create anxiety, confusion, or anger.

  10. Other things to know about me

    Having a good conversation starter is half the battle, right? Beats talking about the weather.

    The side quest of this page can be to cover some of the more ignorant questions that I’m sick of answering.
