From the earliest I can remember, I've been an avid learner and a willing leader. I don't feel the need to be in charge, but have had many leadership opportunities. In high school, I won multiple state competitions as a communicator. I am driven not to elevate myself, but to uplift others. This drive has opened many doors, in many fields of work, all shaping and stretching me to become the woman I am today. I'm always looking forward to my next challenge, even if that is exactly in the place I am or if it takes me somewhere else. I know I am continuing this wonderful process of growing and am honored by the people I get to do that with.
