Favorite Thing About Working With Clients

“In my role, I consider everyone to be a client, including my colleagues. I communicate, set expectations, follow up, and follow through with the same level of professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. I’m a relator and individualizer, so I have a keen ability to see the uniqueness in each person and assess their often unspoken needs. Finding creative ways to connect clients with solutions and providing clarity is what drives me to do my best work.”

My Philosophy On Client Service

“I have this quote posted in my office, which reflects my overall philosophy in life: ‘Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after an experience with you becomes your trademark.’”
