What I Do
I don't ascribe to the belief that we can truly separate who we are from what we do provided we have found the thing we were meant to do. I love what I do. It's not without its challenges and trials but that's also what motivates me. There's a quote from Dr. J, "Being a professional is doing the things you love to do on the days you don't feel like doing them." and that's how I feel about my work. In 2007 I discovered the folks at Improving and I'm so excited to see how far we have come and where we are going as a company. It's truly different than any other company I've worked for, a company who's first job is building trust, that cares for and invests in people, and it's been a great place to work.
