What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Community, service, and connection are core values in both my work and personal life. I find purpose in staying actively involved—whether it’s singing in my choir, serving on the board of the Daughters of the American Revolution, volunteering, or spending time with my church community. These experiences ground me and reflect my commitment to meaningful relationships and giving back.
