My favorite part of my career has always been mentoring and creating high functioning teams. It starts with being authentic, transparent and being seen as a trusted leader. Core to my leadership is authenticity, passion, accountability, celebration and autonomy.

One of my greatest challenges was inspiring a team of 30+ to work harder than they ever had amidst a global pandemic. With the help of our leadership team we built a four day workshop to move this team into a virtual world.

As we returned to work, recognition and celebration are at the forefront of my mind as words such as burn out, employee well-being and work-life integration are being more widely accepted.
