Department: People and Workplace Culture

What is a typical day or week like for you? I am still new to my position and am still figuring things out. Every day looks different, but in brief, I provide support to my AVP and my colleagues.

What are the most challenging aspects of your job? Every day is different. Having tasks planned and things are quite spontaneous, and I need to be super organized so I can get things done.

What rewards come with your job? It is nice to feel appreciated by colleagues. I also enjoy checking things off from the to-do list.

Who or what inspires you at work or in life and why? I enjoy working for Rick. We have similar backgrounds rewarding leadership and that has helped me. I admire that he cares about our team and the team's growth.

I had two mentors who passed away. They always pushed to continue to push forward and do better, and I carry that with me wherever I go.

Tell us something about yourself from outside of your SLCC life: I am a victim advocate in West Jordan. I've always maintained that title. I applied for this position because that means I can still advocate for people in a different aspect, but it is also a great way to advocate for others.

Family: My family lives in a different county than I do, but I get to see them often. They are all supportive of my educational and professional career.

Hobbies/interests: My hobbies consist of volunteering.

Awards/accomplishments: I am a trained Victim Advocate and continue this role as a volunteer.
