[/heading][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1689987925503{border-radius: 10px !important;}”]
I’m blessed to have been awarded many honors throughout my career. I truly appreciate the recognition and continue to strive to drive value in everything I do professionally. However, I am most proud of the relationships of respect I have built with people with whom I have worked, volunteered, learned or otherwise shared my professional journey. For those I have yet to meet, thank you for taking a peek at my site. I hope we can connect as well.
