What characteristics do you value most in your coworkers?
I work alongside beautiful individuals that are super passionate and dedicated to the mission of our organization. Sometimes the work can be a little heavy on the soul, but when I see a great team of individuals showing up for the cause EVERY DAY, I am encouraged.
What motivates you?
My family motivates me! My husband and my five children. I try to be the best I can for them. I feel like when you give the ones closest the best version of yourself, you give them the room and the inspiration to search for the best version of themselves.
What is your leadership style?
I would say that I have more of a servant-leadership style. I believe in encouraging people and pulling out the best in other leaders.
What’s the last series you binge-watched?
I binge-watched Georgia and Ginny with my daughter (and alone *shhh*).
What do you love most about your work?
I love that the work I do is FULL of serving others. It definitely makes me feel good, but the most important part is that the people I serve feel empowered!
What should one never take for granted?
One should never take time for granted. Realize where you and what you want to do in life and then live on purpose.
What are you grateful for?
I am grateful for my supportive husband. He is everything to me and has pushed me forward in so many different ways.
What music artist do you never get tired of?
BOB MARLEY!!! I absolutely love Reggae!
What is your most used emoji?
