How long have you been a City Rep for WWLF and what is your territory/region?
I have been a City Rep for three years. My territory is Florida.
Why did you join WWLF?
I wanted to be part of an organization that kept women connected in the industry as well as offer an avenue to share experiences, contacts, and career opportunities.
How has being a part of WWLF impacted you personally or professionally?
Being part of WWLF has given me a safe place to speak freely and benefit from a form of collective empathy and strength. With women, it is simply wonderful to be able to have meaningful conversations around the daily struggles that women are facing without having to justify your emotions or fears. It has been a great place to network and meet new people that can relate to experiences within the industry. What I love most about this group is the fabulous women and the diversity of thought.
Where did you get your start in the industry? What is your current role?
I started in the industry in 2012 as a recruiter with a staffing company in Chicago. I then moved into a sales position in 2014 where I gained experience within the industry with different companies over the years which eventually led me into my current role as a VP of Business Development.
What is your favorite Quote?
“Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. If you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it’s shining. Success is the sum of all small efforts repeated day in and day out. Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it!”
What does confidence mean to you?
Confidence to me means you can face the biggest fears, problems and challenges in your life and rarely give up even when it means multiple tries. When you are confident, you are magnetic and untouchable!
What are your top 3 leadership lessons or advice?
Leadership is not about authority, it’s the impact, influence and inspiration you have for your team.
