What three words describe your role or job and why?

Integrity, Collaboration, Empowerment

Although a large part of my role is ensuring compliance, at the heart of it is a focus on continuous quality improvement. By encouraging an environment of learning, growth, integrity, and trust we can better reach our goals. I seek to empower others’ success and contribute to mutual achievement by providing guidance, coaching, and training. I lead quality assurance processes, checks, and balances to assure standards, compliance, and goals are met.

If you had unlimited resources, how would you change our community for the better?

I would expand my purpose of “Empowering others to success.”

I am passionate about empowering individuals, strengthening community, creating equitable access, and missions to solve housing instability, food insecurity, employment needs, and other negative impacts of social determinants of health.

With unlimited resources, I’d make greater investments of time and dollars to strengthen a sense of community, interconnectedness, and belonging; cultivating individuals’ passions and strengths to build sustainable collective impact for organizations; and empower and improve systems that have shared goals to strengthen relationships, partnerships and systems, address root-causes, and reach mutually supportive and impactful goals. Dream Big!

If your life had a theme song, what would it be?

I have something closer to a soundtrack! Top song would be, “Come with me now” by the Kongos or “Get Back Up Again” from Trolls (2016) by Anna Kendrick.
