Personal Thoughts

As a mom, I often think about the legacy I’ll leave for my children. What about me will they remember most? My six-year-old recently described me to his classmates by sharing that I’m really good at UNO—yes, the card game!

Although my name won’t ever be found in an UNO hall of fame, I hope that my legacy is centered on excellence—giving everything I can in every instance. I’ve found—time and time again—that my work ethic and can-do attitude are difference makers, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with colleagues who share in a commitment to giving their very best at every turn.
