Am I lucky?

No, I don't believe in luck. I believe in making your own luck.

A fun fact about me is…

I was on dance team at the University of Nebraska. 3 Orange Bowls!

I missed the Sugar Bowl because I was rushed to Tulane Hospital during halftime. I had an emergency appendectomy during the 4th quarter of the game.

My biggest fear

Having no meaning or being insignificant and mundane

I hate just being a cog in the machine. I like to make a difference.

I like to get feedback when its given…

If I need to improve or redo something, I can take constructive criticism, but I prefer it face to face. Email and Slack cause misinterpretations.

Things that deeply motivate me…

Helping others ❤️Getting things done ✅Learning as much as I can 🤓Working with people I love 🥰

You CAN teach an old dog new tricks! I left a comfortable career to keep learning. I don't like being stagnate; it leads to decline. I also love a good "To Do" list. If something is on my list, it gets done. My favorite part of my previous job and my current job is hearing people say, "Whew! You made my day!" Clearing obstacles and showing them an easy route is a great part of my job. But the most important part is working with people I love. All the other stress and BS goes away when you work with people whom you respect and laugh with.
