What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to pushing through the hardest times in my life and coming out stronger. During COVID, I had just had my daughter and was breastfeeding while trying to navigate work with a newborn baby in my arms on Zoom calls. My son was in pre-K and I found out he was autistic, so I had a therapist coming to the house to help with homeschooling. I was begging my ex-husband for help because there was so much pressure at work to deliver, and I was also in a lawsuit for my company. My boss was really hard to work for. But that year, I made the top 10% of my company in sales, made more than I'd ever made before in my life, and earned President's Club. That was one of the hardest things I'd ever dealt with, but looking back now, it was like a catapult into who I am today and who my kids are. It was like an arrow pulling me back so it could put me on a much more forward motion. Going through my divorce four years ago felt like the hardest time, but I learned so much from that life training. These experiences with my kids, especially navigating my son's autism, have been huge learning experiences that shaped my professional journey.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
I'll never forget sitting next to this guy on the airplane when I was flying to Chicago for my CDW interview. He told me he interviews people all the time and gave me a couple of tips. I was just listening to Mel Robbins today talking about how you can change your luck and fortune, and that moment on the plane was exactly that. This stranger gave me advice that helped me land the job that started my entire 22-year career in technology. It was one of those moments where luck met preparation, and it changed everything for me.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
This actually happened with my nanny, Darby. She was this amazing high school kid who helped me after my divorce, and she became so close with my family. One time I had coworkers over and she started asking us all these questions about how to get into the industry. She went to FSU for business, and when she was graduating, she reached out asking for help getting into technology sales. I posted on LinkedIn reaching out to my entire network, talking about how caring, kind, and loving she was to my kids, how resourceful she was, and how highly I recommended her. I connected her with people for entry-level jobs, and she ended up getting a position as an inside sales rep at CrowdStrike. I was so honored that she looked up to me and wanted to do what I do. It felt like a huge pat on the back. My advice is that this industry is all about relationships. Be resourceful, show your passion, reach out to people in your network, and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you're genuine and hardworking, people will want to help you succeed.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The technology field is evolving rapidly, requiring constant vendor training and certifications to stay current, while also presenting major growth opportunities—especially in healthcare IT within her region. At the same time, balancing the demands of a travel-heavy sales career with full-time parenting remains one of the most significant personal challenges.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Mentorship and genuine relationships are incredibly important to me. Al, whose real name is Yasser, became like a father to me when I was working at CDW in Chicago. I was away from my family, didn't know anybody, and he would pick me up at the bus stop every day. He and his wife would have me over for home-cooked meals, I'd babysit their kids, and he became my sounding board for everything. He treated me like the daughter he never had. Even when we had a falling out because he didn't agree with me marrying my ex-husband, we reconnected after my divorce, and he's still there for me today. When I took my kids to Chicago, he bought Cubs tickets and we all went to the game together. It was like they were his grandkids. He's still my sounding board when I'm in a jam. Now I'm on the other side, mentoring a young woman at Blue Ally who I interviewed and highly recommended. We meet every month and while she asks me questions about how to do things, I feel like I'm learning from her too. Being there for people, supporting them, and building genuine relationships where we lift each other up is what matters most to me.
