What’s the best part about your job?
I enjoy assisting our employee-owners in resolving issues and providing useful information they may need at the project level.
Do you have a favorite book or movie?
Yes. My favorite movie is “Gone with the Wind.” I enjoy the classics. My favorite book is “The Shack.” A person left the book on my doorstep when I was going through a tough time after my brother passed away and it definitely helped me.

My rosary that was given to me by my godmother. It’s made of rose petals and I’ve had it for about 15 years and it still smells like roses.
Cat person or dog person?
Definitely a dog person.
