What Guides My Decision Making: I focus on direction and trajectory. Is this likely to move us toward our goal or could it make things worse? What are the risks of inaction? 

Favorite Quote: “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” — Voltaire

What Motivates Me: I relish a challenging problem and am constantly motivated by learning new things. I’m a naturally curious person and like digging deep into a new topic and figuring out the essential elements, then using my new knowledge to push myself and others to grow and evolve.

Most Important Leadership Quality: Being forthright is so important. Strong leaders build trust when they say what they do and do what they say. 

Hobby/Passion: I love to sew and was taught by my grandmothers. I can lose hours in my sewing room. I like how if you make a mistake, you can remove the stitches and start over. But I always measure twice and cut once!
