I attribute my success to my daughter. She's my world, and she's definitely been my driving force. Everything I do, I do for her.

The best career advice I've ever received is to think positive, and positive things will happen. That mindset has really helped me navigate challenges and keep moving forward in my career.

A good first job would definitely be a cashiering job anywhere. It gives you experience dealing with the public and dealing with all kinds of situations, because questions can just come be off the wall from customers. Definitely going above and beyond the call of duty is a good thing to do and have. For example, at Dollar Tree, I was helping a customer find vases for a wedding when something was wrong with their shipment, and I had to go find some other vases to make up the difference for them. It was like finding a needle in a haystack, but luckily they were found, and that lady really, really thoroughly appreciated it. Just last week at Crossmark, I served peaches even though I'm not a real big peach fan, but I did it anyway. The woman came back Monday, found me, and actually said I did a really good job, the peaches were so juicy she came back and bought some more. Nobody's ever approached me saying something like that before, and that just made me feel really good.

The biggest challenge would be my learning disability, dealing with that to get the task done. That's definitely the biggest hurdle. Other than that, it's just learning from my mistakes and just moving forward.

The values most important to me in my work and personal life are being trustworthy and cleanliness. These principles guide how I approach both my professional responsibilities and my personal relationships.
