Get to know her in her own words:

What unusual skills or talents do you have that makes you an Individual? 

Over the life of my career, I have found that I am a healer of words and I have never settled for anything less than I can become. That sums it all. 

What is the best thing about your job? 

My entire career I have taken a motto with me: “The great leader is not the one in the spotlight, she is the one leading the applause.” We have a great leader and that makes all the difference to be the absolute best you can be personally and professionally.

What is your ideal vacation? 

Italy to visit with my family’s heritage. And we love to take our boat out on Lake Murray and just be in awe of nature and the beautiful wildlife on the lake. We also love to fish! 

If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? 

I never have wanted to be a superhero but if I were to choose it would be an angel, for they are the true superheroes!
