Describe your role in six words.
Answer providing, feedback giving, attentive advisor.

What's your passion?  
Encouraging others and helping them reach their fullest potential. Sometimes people need a little push, and I love to be a personal cheerleader and listener. The glass is always half full.

What's your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasures are Sour Patch Kids, Pringles, and pumpkin pecan cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. The only problem with the cheesecake is that it’s seasonal.

Do you have a favorite item of clothing?
I absolutely love shoes! I like how different styles can change the tone of your outfit.

Who are the most important people in your life?
I have five most important people: my two children, mom, sister, and niece. They are the most resilient and passionate people. We have all been through so much; however, what sets them apart is they each keep going with a smile on their face and have a ton of hope and faith.
