One place that is special to me is…
Park City, UT because I moved there immediately after graduating from college, began my career and ultimately ended up having my wedding there. I am extremely passionate about nature and hiking, and Utah is a paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. While living there I was able to travel extensively around the state and west coast and picked up some new skills, like skiing and snowboarding! My husband and I chose to get married there because of how meaningful Park City is to both of us and we try to travel there whenever possible to reminisce and enjoy the outdoors.
I’m part of The Boda Group because…
I am passionate about our values and about building deep, meaningful relationships with our clients and team. I admire the work that our coaches do to help leaders and organizations be better and feel honored to play a part in that.
Things that make me smile include…
spending time with my husband and two young sons, hiking and spending time in nature, attending Dave Matthews Band concerts and enjoying live music.
If I had a crystal ball, I’d like to know…
where I’ll be in 10 years! I am a planner by nature and like to have all the details for every scenario in both my personal and professional life. I love to plan ahead and am constantly asking “what’s next?” I would love the chance to see where the next 10 years will take me.
My friends say I’m…
adventurous, funny, loving, and always in charge of the music.
