What is the biggest professional goal you have accomplished?
My professional goal has always been to advance to the management/executive level in Zinnia Finance. This goal is so important to me because as Director, I can train and lead those who work in finance to eventually carry on the Zinnia mission.
It remains my goal to continue to move up and have an even more positive impact on my company’s future.
What should one never take for granted?
People. Things in life come and go but people and relationships remain.
Who is your greatest inspiration?
My dad. When I was a child, my dad was diagnosed with cancer but he was still there for our family and attended all of my events.
He taught me that I should keep going, even when it gets tough.
Unfortunately, I lost my dad in 2022, but I hope to carry his memory on in everything I do with being present and just trying to be my best.
