What is your favorite part of the learning and development field?  My favorite part of being in Learning and Development is being able to make an impact in people's lives both professionally and personally. Being able to give people resources to help them thrive and to make their lives easier is what makes my days great.

What are your greatest strengths, and what are your current development goals? My greatest strengths are having empathy and compassion for others. Whether I am leading a project with tremendous change or helping guide new learners through their onboarding, I always try to lead with those strengths and a growth mindset, allowing my learners to move forward with confidence and trust. My current development goals are to continue to learn more about self-awareness and how I can better lead people through their development goals.

Who is currently one of your favorite speakers or authors, and why? One of my favorite speakers/authors is Adam Grant. He gives you the tools to allow yourself to think differently about people and situations you may find yourself in and leads with a growth mindset.

What are your hobbies or favorite things to do with your team? I enjoy playing tennis, pickleball, and volleyball. I love trying new restaurants within the corridor. And, if it's patio weather, you can catch me outside enjoying the day on a patio somewhere.
