On a personal note

My background in directing human resources functions for small and larger companies has given me the ability to connect well with people at all levels in the organization and bring diverse viewpoints to a productive consensus. I am inspired by WSC’s philosophy that people come first and all water matters. Our team consists of visionary leaders that motivate the employees to strive for excellence. The work-life culture is a model for how companies should treat their employees, and is something I’m very proud to be a part of.

On a personal note, I’m raising two very active boys. We love to hike, camp, kayak and paddle board. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, painting and pottery.
