 One of My Favorite Professional Experiences…

My favorite experience is anytime a student or athlete comes up to me and thanks me.  Just to know that somehow, however small or big it might have been, I had a positive impact on that person’s life. There is no better feeling, or reward, than simply knowing I had some small part in a person’s success.  I am humbled and grateful every time someone stops to talk to me that I once mentored, taught, or coached.

Favorite Professional Experience

Planning and attending special events that recognize employees for their achievements, has always been one of my favorite roles throughout my administrative career. Seeing the look of elation on their faces at retirement parties or award recognition banquets, when they realize how much they are appreciated, is one of the best experiences in the world to be a part of.
