What was your first job as an adult and what did you learn from it?
Casino host. The most valuable lesson I took away from that experience was how to effectively build relationships with our guests, peers and leadership team. This position helped me gain a new perspective on being adaptable and open-minded that has been essential as an HR professional.
What are you doing to make Topeka a stronger community?
My family and I believe in supporting local businesses, fostering open communication and building relationships with neighbors to create a sense of belonging, mutual support and shared responsibility within the community.
In your opinion, what does Topeka need the most right now?
Topeka needs to continue to empower individuals to take on leadership roles that will drive positive change and improve the overall well-being of the community.
If tomorrow was your last day, how would you spend the next 24 hours?
Spend the entire day with my family and community of friends and loved ones. Donate money to people and animals in need, have an amazing meal or two and watch a favorite movie. Drink champagne and celebrate the beautiful life I have lived and shared with others.
What is your walk-up song?
“Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake. This is such a cheerful and energetic song. You can’t help but dance when you hear it!
