What do you love most about what you do?
What I love most about what I do is getting to work with the people I do. We have an amazing group of people that have all come together to make the CIMG Family.
Any advice to young women who want to succeed in the workplace?
My advice to women who want to succeed is to never give up, put your head down and keep pushing forward, keep a good sense of humor about yourself, and think before you speak.
How do you balance your work with your life?
Balancing work and home life is a tough one these days. With kids ranging in age from 4- 18 there is always a lot to be done and not always enough time to get it all done. I am fortunate that I have such a great team at CIMG that makes sure we stay on top of it all.
What challenges have you faced in your career?
Challenges I have faced in my career would definitely circle back to the home/work balance. Trying to figure out how to maintain a successful career and a successful home life is a work in progress every day.
What do you think is the key for success in a role like yours?
I feel the key for success in a role like mine is to surround yourself with a group of talented, loyal, hard working people. Other than that, adding in a little bit of luck never hurts.
