WHAT ADVICE IMPACTED YOU?

A friend told me in grad school that you can’t know where you’re going without understanding your own history. Take the time to get to know what and who came before you. I’m a lot more patient today and now I try to learn what’s preceded any issue.

WHAT’S A CRITICAL LEADERSHIP SKILL?

Definitely listening.

AN EVERY DAY HABIT?

I start the day making my “just do it” list.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN DURING THE RECENT PANDEMIC?

That we can do a lot working remotely. We’re still figuring out how to build culture with new employees in this new hybrid environment.

NAME A SUPERHERO YOU CAN RELATE TO.

Definitely Iron Man. I had my kids convinced that I was Iron Man when they were young.
