Why is decentralized governance important to you? Cardano governance looks to be the single best opportunity to advance the state of the art of decentralized governance. The serious research driven approach, coupled with a vibrant community provides the fertile ground on which decentralized governance can flourish. To be a foundational part of that growth is a meaningful and wonderful path for me as a human and a Cardano community member.

What perspective would you bring to the committee if successful? A well grounded and reasoned approach to reviewing each governance action that comes before the community. A community first, power to the edges, inclusive view of each issue will ensure the longest term success for Cardano, and I intend to bring that voice forward in every decision.
