My Achilles Heel is…

I get easily distracted by everything... and jump to random thoughts

One thing that might surprise you about me…

I need to compartmentalize everything and I have a weird memory

Yes... but I also think the world gives back the energy you give it.

Epic work fails

Franciscan Children's patient US Citizenship/FANnual

It's okay to make mistakes and ultimately it will lead to understanding process and how to fix it for next time.

Most fulfilling project I've worked on

a patient discharge from Franciscan Children's Hospital

To see this patient, who was only 2 years old, be reunited with her family outside of the hospital was extremely heartwarming and filled me with so much joy. Knowing how special family is to me, this moment was extremely touching and fulfilling.

A fun fact about me is…

I have been skiing since I was 18 months old :)

We have a running joke in the family that I could ski before I could walk. I was also a 2x captain of my high school softball team and was the first softball player to play at a D1 school. I've had 4 knee surgeries on my left knee (darn ACL's!) and was a photographer for our athletics department in college.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

being really quiet and clenching my jaw...

Someone can help me by pulling me aside after hours and chatting with me 1:1. I do not like to be approached in the office when I am stressed.

I learn best by…

doing itSeeing it

I am an extremely visual person. As soon as I see someone do something, I will be able to do it. For example, once I see how to get somewhere, I will know it forever (finding meeting rooms in MHQ)

Me when sh*t hits the fan

Nicole Ericson when sh*t hits the fan

Last year, I would have been Michael Scott trying to get out of the burning building. But this year, I am trying to stay calm under pressure and assess all of the facts to make a calculated decision.

Something that gets me energized is seeing other's succeed. I love watching them get the little to big wins day in and day out. Seeing someone pour their heart into something and having it pay off in a big way gets me energized!

Things that deeply motivate me…

Helping others ❤️Being my most authentic self 🎨Learning as much as I can 🤓Having a good time 🕺Running the show, being in charge ⚡️Making my parents proud 🥺

Deep down my teammates, colleagues, friends and family all motivate me to be a better person inside and out. My parents are my role models and they motivate me to make an impact in my career and leave a legacy behind. I watched my mom be an extremely successful business woman and I aspire to be like her one day for my family.

You will make my freakin day if you…

private praise / thank you!a dank MEME

A teammate makes my day by saying hi and asking me how my day/week/weekend is/was before we jump into business. A teammate makes my day when they remember little things about my upcoming schedule (announcement, wishing good luck before a big meeting etc.)
