Something about me people might not know

I’m actually quite shy.

A life change that seemed risky at the time, but turned out positive

Once my husband and I moved across the country to Seattle not knowing a soul. It was a wonderful experience. We met lots of fantastic people, learned to snowboard, camped and hiked on the weekends, lived downtown, and saw a lot of the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

One word my colleagues would use to describe me

Energetic.

What “breaking away from the expected” means to me

Delightfully surprising our clients.

My most significant role model

My father. He is not only an amazing person—kind, happy, and gentle—but also an incredibly smart and savvy business person. I feel so grateful to work so closely with him, and learn from him every day.
