I am passionate about leadership because I have seen the way leadership development has transformed people’s lives. We have so many big, complex issues facing society across the globe, and we need strong leaders who are courageous enough to solve these problems. Leadership development allows individuals to engage in self-reflection, identifying strengths and passions that they can use to solve these issues. I am proud to be a small part of the process that helps young and seasoned leaders discover a part of themselves that will enhance their knowledge and skills.

Quick Facts About Me: 1) I love to travel to new places, especially if I get to go with my family.

This job is so fun because I get to interact with student athletes and coaches all day, and they are so much fun to work with.

I am passionate about leadership development because it took me too long to learn myself that leaders can come in all different shapes and sizes. I used to believe that the only leader in the room is the one everybody hears, so I thought I wasn’t leader material. Now I realize that leadership is something people feel instead of something people hear, so I embrace my quiet nature and want to let other people in on this secret!

We can all probably agree that leaders are important, but I particularly love Leadership Development because we can learn some of the most basic, yet essential skills that we are never actually taught. For example, how to to give and receive feedback, how communicate more effectively, or how to see another person’s perspective.

I love leadership because it applies to every aspect of our lives. It is diverse in the various ways it can help groups become high functioning. There are never two groups that are the same, so it is always fun for me to see how every group functions in its own way. I believe that leadership helps individuals discover more about themselves that maybe they did not know before. Learning about leadership and its multiple aspects has helped me and is continuing to help me find my strengths and how I can utilize those to maximize performance in my work.
