I am driven by my passion to make amazing things come to life through servant leadership, nurturing client relationships, and bringing new ideas & innovative solutions by encouraging creative collaboration and welcoming critical feedback. I have served in many roles over the last thirty years and strongly believe that you must constantly challenge yourself to reach your own personal & professional potential. Believe in your people, promote positive culture, empower with opportunities, educate financial literacy, communicate frequently & often with transparency, and share the accolades with others. Servant leadership is more than words. It is a passion to be the best you can for those you lead and not settling for second-best. It is taking the road less travelled, bumps and all, so that others are valued and supported. It is celebrating the big wins together and sharing pride in the the work they do. All of this is what makes the magic happen!I am a positive force of change, motivated, driven, and versatile professional experienced in executive leadership, corporate finance, operational excellence, business development, with a passion for delivering innovative solutions to meet clients' strategic initiatives and projects. I am a proud graduate of Missouri State University with undergraduate degrees in Finance, Economics, and MBA with Finance Concentration. Go Bears!!! I am a member of the Financial Management Association International since 2008, and several other professional organizations. Each of us has a stake in the outcome and I believe in doing what I can to make a difference by volunteering in various youth organizations, serving on community & regional boards, and philanthropic pursuits to support the fine & performing arts, to name a few.
