What inspires you to work in leadership development?

I believe that we are part of endless communities in our lives that intersect and influence each other. These communities are driven by the diverse individuals and meaningful relationships we develop. I believe that understanding how to better connect and uplift people and our communities can lead to a more equitable and just society.

Where are we most likely to find you when you’re not at work?

I’m most likely doing something crochet-related (crocheting, shopping at JoAnne Fabrics, or looking up endless inspiration and patterns) while listening to a podcast.
