compassionate and honest.

It is wonderful to be understood by someone you can trust!

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Being late. If I am late my whole day will be thrown off.

Best way to get me excited about something

I really like competing with myself.

If I beat my last week self then I know where I am growing. Progression in a forward direction excites me.

My happy place

Dudley in the back, will be two in December. Orville turned one November. These pups are so darling and have such a joy for life. It’s contagious.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMback to back meetingsmostly team timelots of in person collab

I feel like I do my best work in the AM. I can adjust well to a schedule due to my appointment based career. I love the exploration of team co creation. Playing six different sports growing up, I love the idea of everyone WINNING!!! I love watching people succeed, myself included. 🙌🏻😁

I like to get feedback when its given…

Feedback in all facets gives you different ways to grow.

How I relax

Golf, Hot Tea, Tai Chi, Mahjong with the Ladies.

Playing and going on walks with my two little pups Dudley and Orville.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Stuttering, get quite humorous and make small mistakes.

Reassure me and give me clear direction.

My Achilles Heel is…

I am sometimes a little to independent.

Gentle reminders that will give me an opportunity to speak up if I need anything.

People who have impacted how I see the 🌍

Sir Paul McCarthy

His music speaks to my heart.

Things I'd love to learn

Emotional intelligence, communication skills, and all things golf.

Epic work fails

Didn’t hang up, talked to my TL while customer was still on the line! 🤭

I learned to double check everything I do and how to effectively explain a mistake to my customer. He thought it was hilarious. Thank goodness!

Outside of work, you'll find me...
