HOW DOES YOUR CAREER INSPIRE YOU?
Watching the joy on customers faces when I am able to put them at ease regarding their finances. Naturally, people have high regards when it comes to their finances, whether it’s a loan or putting them in the type of account that benefits their needs the most. It’s refreshing to see the smiles and relief on their faces.
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
I know how to “read the room.” I know when to be outgoing and when to sit back and observe. I feel like I can switch back and forth rather quickly if needed. I am not afraid to speak my mind, but I also wear my heart on my sleeve.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE GO-TO PLACE IN TOPEKA?
Lake Shawnee. Whether it’s jogging, walking with my family, riding the paddle boats or just having a family picnic, most of our summer days are spent at Lake Shawnee.
NAME THREE THINGS YOU’D WANT ON A DESERTED ISLAND.
My Bible, definitely a magnifying glass or mirror to start a fire—I am always cold! And a hammock so I don’t always have to be inside the shelter.
YOUR FAVORITE #HASHTAG?
#Family. I was raised in a close knit family, and my husband and I are providing the same atmosphere with our children.
