What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my passion for teaching and training others—sharing knowledge of programs and processes not only helps others grow but continually strengthens my own expertise.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering the industry is to get involved early—volunteer with your unit during holidays, engage in community outreach, and explore passions outside of work like reading, fitness, and creative hobbies to stay balanced and grounded.
