People! I love to be around them! I gain my energy and enthusiasm by being around others, and I love helping them professionally and personally.

What is something interesting about you that members might not know?
I started my own business so I could call the shots while raising my children. It was my top priority to be there for my kids and still be a career woman.

Who has been a role model for you?
My first HR boss. He was amazing! He gave me lots of opportunities. I have been so fortunate to have many role models, from CEOs to HR professionals, and many of the people on the WLC. It has been truly the best thing about AFSA for me. I finally feel like I belong!

What are you most proud of?
Raising my children while running a business. Could I be more successful—yes! Could I make more money—yes! I am doing it on my terms and I am very proud of that.

What advice would you give yourself as a young executive?
Let it roll off your back and just focus on what you are doing—don't worry or compare yourself to your counterparts. The opportunities will come!

The devil is in the details; be prepared, check yourself, then execute.
