Additional Information

I have a deep interest in people and want to do whatever is within my power or skillset to see that those whom I work with or for are being treated with fairness, dignity, respect, and that we are able to succeed and achieve our collective goals. It is my personal belief that people come first in all circumstances and that we must treat each other well and with a measure of grace in order to receive the best outcomes for ourselves. Life has taught me that relationships matter more than bottom lines and that if we treat one another with fairness that we can all find our own success.
