"Steady, kind, and quietly inspiring"

Dori’s the kind of person who doesn’t need to say much to be noticed. There’s just this calm energy around her — steady, patient, always present. She never tries to take the spotlight, but somehow she ends up holding everything together anyway. She’s thoughtful in a way that feels rare. When she gives feedback, it’s honest but gentle. When she joins a conversation, she listens first, and what she says after always adds real value. You can tell she cares about people as much as she cares about the work. A lot of us in this space are moving fast, chasing updates, hopping from one thing to another — but Dori slows things down in the best way. She reminds people why they started, keeps the focus on community, and makes everyone feel included. Over time, you start realizing how much her consistency matters. She’s the quiet kind of leader — no loud words, no showy moves — just someone who makes things better simply by being there.
