“I found out early on while working in the industry that I could successfully lead any team to drive change, so it became natural to me to become a consultant. For the clients I’ve served, from the factory level to the leadership level, I’ve built and sustained trusted relationships while becoming part of their teams and those lasting relationships are what I’m most proud of. And when a client can take what we did and make it better over time… that brings me great joy.”
