On The Personal Side of Things

Why did I choose this work?
My work has always been guided by the little girl that grew up feeling like she didn’t belong. The TV was in a different language and no one on any of her favorite shows looked or dressed like her. It is with this in mind that I strive to empower those that I work with to feel like they belong and what they have to say is of equal importance to those they share space with.

When I’m not on the clock?
You will often find me with my nose stuck in the latest thriller (who can be trusted?), eating pizza, listening to Dolly Parton, cuddling my um, let’s say sassy dogs Chloe and Myra, and filling this beautiful thing called life with as many trips, concerts, and gatherings as possible with my husband, and daughter.
