Risa Zenno’s Expertise The ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and functions comes naturally to me as an Adult Third Culture Kid (ATCK) who grew up between Japan, Brazil, the United States, and Mexico. I draw upon this experience of frequently finding myself in novel surroundings to quickly assess a situation and adapt. That's why a central theme in all my past roles, whether in Student Affairs, Education Consulting, or Campus Operations, has been the opportunity to work cross-functionally and interculturally. Those of us in education and especially start-ups wear many hats, and this has always been true for me. (Any multipotentialites out there?) I have led large teams and programs, designed processes, advised students, and consistently immersed myself in my professional community. I love shaping team culture and identifying opportunities to codify and improve systems. I'm energized by work that allows me to leverage my operational mind with a track record of building context and relationships. I currently work as an academic adviser for undergraduate students in the Foster School of Business at University of Washington, helping students reframe and challenge assumptions so that they can build their own college experience--inside and outside the classrooms. My goal is to add snippets of intercultural competence into each interaction--ways of thinking about their own culture and the world in different perspectives. Specialties: Start-up Process Improvements Professional Development Organizational Design Social Media Writing & Editing Marketing Product Management Networking Education Research & Analysis Cross-Functional Team Leadership Conflict Transformation Client Advocate Quick Learner Collaborative Communicator Account Management Team Building Time Management Microsoft Office G-Suite Training Facilitation Communication Brand Management Empathetic Inquiry Outside of work, you can find me enjoying sobremesa which is a Spanish word that describes the time spent around the table after any meal; a time to digest and savor both food and relationships. Feel free to share with me your culinary recipes, the whereabouts of the hole-in-the-wall restaurants, your travel stories, or a review of the latest management tool (nothing beats efficiency!).
