What three factors contributed to your success today? (1) A supportive husband and family who believe in me and pick up the slack when I cannot be everywhere at the same time. (2) Incredible mentors who have taught me their craft and encouraged me to challenge myself and have confidence in my abilities. (3) A strong work ethic and commitment to the team concept.
I prepare for the unexpected in life by… Surrounding myself with people who know what they are doing.
If you could design a bumper sticker with your advice to the world, what would it say? My bumper sticker would say, “Help others succeed and you will succeed yourself.” I have been very fortunate to have incredible mentors throughout my life. Without them, I would not have accomplished what I have accomplished today. I believe in paying it forward and, as such, always take the time to help others so that they may also climb the ladder and bring others up behind them.
During my off time, I am most passionate about….Exploring new places with my family
