For every story, I look for an

unexpected angle, a way of

going beyond the surface,

of finding the uncanny in the

modern and familiar.

Awareness. I try to see the

world through the people

who populate my stories and

my life. Their perspectives

lead to unexpected insights.

Empathy, and my ability to

connect with people regard-

less of their culture and back-

ground and to treat everyone

with dignity and respect.

My greatest strength is the

ability to see the potential,

whether in people or in

an idea, and to craft that

potential into reality.

I can delve beyond the

obvious and apparent, and

transform experiences

into stories that matter.

Everything that’s in me by

virtue of being a woman: I feel

closely, live intuitively, and

steal moments of silence

from what I see.

My BS radar. I’m pretty good

at reading people and can

usually spot when someone’s

spinning me a line.

My self-care. Weeks can go

by where sacrifice is necessary

but so is rest and love.

There is no beauty or glory

in suffering.
