Q: Who has influenced you most when it comes to how you approach your work?

A. My parents. They both work in the helping profession with a genuine desire to help people. We did not come from a wealthy family so they worked hard to get everything we have. They instilled in me core values when it comes to work ethic and how you should treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter their title.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do when not at work? 

A. I love watching cooking shows and trying new recipes.

Q. What’s the best advice you were ever given? Who was it from?

A. My mother always told me that the ability to be educated is a privilege and for me to make sure that I take every opportunity to learn because people can take a lot from you in this world, but they can never take your knowledge.
