About

As Director of Partnerships at Mission Collaborative, I help people design careers that truly reflect who they are. Having gone through my own career transformation, I love helping others push past their limiting beliefs and find work that matters to them. I deeply believe that real success starts with seeking to understand before seeking to be understood; It's the key to building genuine, meaningful connections. My journey across five countries and four U.S. states has taught me a lot about embracing change and building community wherever you go. Now, I work with universities to create programs that help people build fulfilling careers in today's ever-changing world. After work, you'll probably find me exploring nature around Austin, Texas, or making my way to the coast to catch some waves 🌊 Clifton Strengths: Futuristic, Achiever, Connectedness, Input, Positivity 🤠
