What accomplishment are you most proud of?

"I chose to change my career trajectory after the company where I had worked for 26 years terminated me and 900+ colleagues. I continue to learn in my current job and add to my toolbox."

What is the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done and would you do it again?

"My biggest adventure was returning to graduate school at the age of 52. I'm not sure I would or could do it again, although it has given me many rewards."

What's something you're working on?

"Reworking my assumptions about how I fit into our world as a white female."

"I began this work after the death of George Floyd, with the realization that I was complicit in supporting white supremacy."

What is the greatest struggle you’ve overcome, and what did you learn from it?

"My greatest struggle is the grief I continue to experience after the death of my best friend to brain cancer."

"I've learned that I only have the illusion of control."

What's your mantra?

"'How important is it?' It serves me because I apply my energy appropriately vs responding to what colleagues deem urgent."
