Please link to your Optimist Profile or Organization ID here. All candidates are required to create an Optimist Profile by following the steps at atlas.optimism.io and sharing their profile link below.

Please link to any contributions that demonstrate you meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Charter for the specific Grants Council team you’re applying for:

  1. I’ve been part of the govNERD program since it started, which has helped me build and show off a lot of the skills listed in the eligibility criteria.
  2. Last season, I was on the Grants Council, and it was a really eye-opening experience. I learned a ton and got familiar with the tools we’ll be using again this season. That experience made me want to double down and focus completely on the Grants Council this time around. To make that happen, I’ve stepped away from other roles so I can put more time and energy into this, including diving deeper into DeFi and Data Analytics to do more specialized work. I’ve always worked well with a team and had great communication with the Lead, Ops, and other members of the council in Season 6. I’m confident that will only get better this season.
  3. On top of that, I’ve helped many teams and builders by providing feedback, guiding them through the grant or Retro Funding application process, and answering questions about the Grants Program. I’ve become someone people feel comfortable reaching out to when they have questions about OP Governance, and I want to continue being that kind of resource for builders looking to grow the Superchain. This time, I won’t just wait for questions to come my way—I’ll take a proactive approach and reach out to the teams that should be on board.
