I wake up each morning and complete a full deck of Krypto - usually in under 10 minutes. Why? Because I love a challenge that engages the logical problem solving skills of my brain. Looking at a situation from a vast array of angles, picturing different outcomes of potential options, and prioritizing needs is the type of work I enjoy. Lucky for me, that work can be implemented into a myriad of different roles.I spent the majority of my early career in call centers, learning how to interact with customers, employees, teams, and clients. I was afforded the opportunity to explore several roles while in the call center atmosphere which allowed me to hone different skills. I learned how to truly listen to an upset customer to understand exactly what was needed to appease them. As a manager I learned that every single person operates in a different way and that in order to cater to needs, I have to be willing and able to change my approach at the drop of a hat. I know now that a team can only flourish when there is consistently open communication flowing both ways. And finally, I learned that clients will only ask you to do something that seems impossible if they have faith that you can do it, otherwise they would have gone to someone else.What I've come to understand about myself in the last 10 years is that I thrive under pressure. I welcome a quick deadline - it tells me whoever set the date is eager to get this show on the road and invested in its success. It has also taught me to embrace change and adapt to new requirements or needs in an instant. During my first two years as a Realtor, I had the amazing opportunity to help people find their perfect house. But I wanted to do more. I wanted to help them make their new house a true home. So, my husband and I started our own renovation business and began embarking on the adventure of a lifetime helping our clients create a space that is as individual, unique, and beautiful as they are.The pandemic brought about my latest career - full time teacher for a brilliant kid. Together, we're mastering the skills needed to be truly successful in the world without getting too bogged down in the nonsense. This has been my favorite job of all and I may never give it up!
