“𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲” –𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀I help organizations achieve operational, financial, and strategic goals, and more importantly, customer satisfaction by collaborating across a large organization, improving processes, balancing competing priorities, and driving projects to completion in a fast-paced environment. My path to the insurance industry began unexpectedly. I never dreamed of being a professional in the insurance industry…yet it happened. I learned early and often the importance of engaging with others to get things done. Corporate life taught me about collaboration, and when people work together, things happen. It’s that sense of accomplishment that led me to become a professional that helps others first. Helping people and seeing their success provided me an unparalleled opportunity to connect with professionals at various levels. I learned a thing or two about dealing with issues throughout my career and solving problems gracefully under pressure. My first leadership position allowed me to recruit, train, coach, and develop others. As much as I love leading people, I also enjoy learning and being challenged as an individual contributor and collaborating with others to improve processes. In 2011, after a restructuring, I was retained in a critical role to communicate significant business changes to the sales force as a relationship manager. In this role, I truly became excited about change and chaos. I knew how to follow the bouncing ball and learned that you must follow it very closely during any transition. In my current position, I bring all of my experiences full circle to evaluate existing business processes and study ways to make improvements to many steps to improve the candidate experience and increase productivity, reduce costs. I was selected to be a Co-Lead for the organization’s employee culture team as an influencer to engage over 1,200 employees and deliver fun. Additionally, I was elected as a member of the department's transformation team to reinvent the candidate onboarding experience focused on improvements from the eyes of the candidates.
