I always make sure that our company and our customers are number one, so my success is really about making sure that everybody that is impacted with what I do gets the ultimate success. I'm very dedicated and focused on what I do. I research anything that I do and make sure that I communicate well with anybody in my peers, whether that's virtually or in person. I make sure that I have that one-on-one connection with whoever I'm working with. My mentor Ed Carr has helped me shape the person I am today, inside of work as well. He's helped me align with where my skills are at, where my opportunities are, and where I could be better at. He's helped me learn to overcome obstacles and ensure to always ask when I need help.

The biggest one to me is don't be shy. Even if it's a challenge, even if it's something you've never done before, just do it. You have plenty of resources out there, and don't be shy, don't say no to new things, and get your name out there. Don't be shy, don't be scared, really.

Within my specific role, a big challenge is that we work with multiple different projects at once, and just making sure that we're putting 100% in every single project simultaneously and ensuring that we have the accurate information and accurate history to complete the job and the project. As for opportunities, one of the biggest things about this role is getting to meet a lot of people, whether it's virtually or in person. You get to meet a lot of city mayors and governors and CEOs within the big electrical cooperatives within the state of Florida. You get to meet a lot of really great people, a lot of CEOs, managers, and VPs that can really help you and give you words of wisdom along the way, especially a lot of the women VPs and state presidents that I've encountered. The biggest opportunity is getting to know other people around you who have done your job or can help you along the way to make you better and perform better at whatever skill that you need.

I'm very dedicated and I'm very passionate about what I do. I make sure anything that I do, I research. I'm very dedicated and focused on what I do. I make sure that I communicate well with anybody in my peers, whether that's virtually or in person, and make sure that I have that one-on-one connection with whoever I'm working with. I always make sure that our company and our customers are number one. Outside of work, I love sports and I really love to push myself with sports and try new sports that I haven't done before. I really like trying anything new with my family members or my husband, whether it's skydiving or rock climbing - really like to get the adrenaline up and just have fun.
