• Ket to Success: Mine is similar to one of our Guardian blue benches—grounded, collaborative and always open to connection. It’s about creating a space where ideas can sit, relationships can grow and challenges can be tackled together. Just like a bench invites rest and reflection, my success is built on pausing to learn, listening to others and finding strength in the community around me. Success isn’t a solo journey; it’s a shared experience.
• Guilty Pleasure: Extra sleep!
• High School Superlative: Most friendly
• Childhood Aspirations: I wanted to be a horse jockey. Strange, I know!
• First Job: I was a clerk at my parent’s small convenience store, where we sold everything from live bait to Wisconsin cheese.
• Best Advice: “Choose your hard. Living with debt is hard, and practicing financial discipline is hard. Life will always present challenges, but we have the power to choose our hard. Pick wisely.”
• Biggest Influence Personally & Professionally: My older sister, Whitney, has helped guide my life and career. From the very beginning, she has been more than just a sibling—she has been a mentor, a confidant and a source of unwavering support. She’s stood by my side through every major decision, offering thoughtful, honest and solid advice that has helped shape my path. Her guidance isn’t just about the words she speaks but the example she sets every day through her own actions and achievements. Without question, she has played an instrumental role in shaping the person I am today, both personally and professionally.
