WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT?

Raising my daughter and now my granddaughter.

WHAT GOAL ARE YOU WORKING TOWARD?

Getting more involved in my community.

WHAT’S SOME PRACTICAL ADVICE IN THE WORK WORLD?

It is better to prevent problems than recover from them. In my current world, this means training. Training is the foundation of what we do and is the preventative measure that keeps us from having to recover from an incident.

WHAT LEADERSHIP SKILL WOULD YOU CONSIDER CRITICAL TO SUCCESS?

Support. In order for me to be successful, my staff has to be successful. They need my support more than anything to be confident in their jobs and their abilities.

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

My role model is not just one person. It is all the successful people around me that I desire to be more like. I am surrounded by people every day who inspire me to keep reaching for my goals.

YOUR FAVORITE HASHTAG?

#pibblelife. I own three pitbulls and post more pictures of them than anyone else in my house.
