Leadership Experience

Month Year, I led a team of 200+ colleagues at Sears for over 13 years. After that experience concluded, I focused on my growing family after the birth of my youngest daughter. Then I got back into the leadership saddle again at the Walgreens service desk, where I coordinated the efforts of roughly 115 teammates as they troubleshot issues in the pharmacy chain.

Projects

Mission to Bali, 2023, I went on a soul-restoring trip to Bali in 2023, to reset my spirit and recharge after a challenging few years. I needed a core reset after being in the corporate connive-thrive-drive for all these years without a stop. I built a little hut for myself and truly got back to what drives me in the first place—a desire to accomplish and grow.
