WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR CAREER CHOICE?

In my first few years of college, my dad was diagnosed with leukemia. He and I became involved in our local Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was the first organization I volunteered for and I loved feeling I was a part of something that could impact someone’s life and make it better.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR WORK?

That it doesn’t feel like work. I feel very blessed to work for a company that lets me wear two hats: working with the community and leading a team on the construction project side. I love that every day brings something different, and both roles are rewarding.

WHAT ARE YOU AN EXPERT IN?

I would be lying if I said I am an expert in anything, I always feel I can improve regardless of the situation. I am confident, however, in being able to read people and having empathy to help problem solve.

WHAT ARE YOUR CORE VALUES?

Being dependable and being accountable. I want people to know if I say I’m going to do something, I will show up and give it 100%. I want my children to know the value of being dependable and the importance of follow through. I know I will make mistakes and fail at times regardless of my good intentions. I will not only own those moments, but also learn and grow from them to become a better version of myself.
