I think my days as a servant leader began with me organizing kickball games on the playground. Not only did I love being team captain, but I was also not above sacrificing my nice, white sneakers to ensure our team delivered a sound thrashing. Although that was ages ago, my love of working with and leading exceptional teams has bloomed over the years. Servant leadership is a quality I have woven into my professional life, allowing me to become a trusted instructor to middle and high school students and later, an accomplished account manager and team leader to high-profile clients with very specific needs. My dedication to leading and serving has brought me to where I am today as an administrative manager in the Search Solutions group at WittKieffer. In this role I get to satisfy the teacher and servant leader in me, doing things like helping new colleagues acclimate and existing colleagues thrive. By simply by having regular 1:1’s with my team members, surfacing the right learning materials, and encouraging them to be the best they can be, I have been able to make a real impact on their careers. I feel so fortunate that my values fit so well with our firm’s values. WittKieffer is a premier executive search and leadership advisory firm building impactful leadership teams for organizations that improve quality of life. Just as WittKieffer builds impactful leadership teams for our clients, I am proud to build, lead, educate, and support a very knowledgeable, hard-working team who provides a solid foundation for the many successful projects in the Education Market. In my time away from WittKieffer, I enjoy traveling with my husband and watching live music together. My idea of a perfect day is sitting on the beach with a cold beverage in hand, listening to the music of the waves crashing on the sand. When not traveling, I unleash my inner creative beast by tackling interior design projects both at home and for others. In the quieter times, I nurture my curious nature by trying out new recipes with cozy dinners I host for family and friends.
