I had the privilege to begin my career with the United States Coast Guard, where I developed key leadership values that have served as guiding principles throughout my work and personal life. I believe in treating others with respect; setting high expectations and creating a culture of accountability for myself and others; and ensuring that teams are equipped with the tools, training, and resources necessary for success. As a planner, I live by the motto “plan your work and work your plan,” which has helped me turn losses into profits and good businesses into great operations.

Here are some famous quotes that offer a little insight into my personality:

► “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

► “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” - Benjamin Franklin

► “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” - Sir Winston Churchill

► “We shall build good ships here. At a profit - if we can. At a loss - if we must. But always good ships.” - Collis Huntington (Northrop Grumman’s creed)
