A Bit About Me
Professionally:
I am a highly strategic thinker with a very creative side. I enjoy absorbing and analyzing information that helps me make better decisions. You will also find me highly motivated to execute and make things happen, and I naturally speak up, take charge, and make sure others are heard.
On the CliftonStrengths assessment insight guide, my top 5 themes are:
-
Learner (Strategic Thinking): I embrace opportunities and new ideas and desire to deepen my understanding of topics, problems, solutions, events, or people.
-
Futuristic (Strategic Thinking): I instinctively spend time considering how to improve anything; it could be improving websites, graphics, marketing strategies, myself, or my pantry :)
-
Intellection (Strategic Thinking): I'm all about gathering new ideas, discovering new approaches, hearing about new theories or concepts, and applying new technologies.
-
Achiever (Executing): I'm always well-prepared for presentations and meetings and come to my team with great enthusiasm and stamina to get the job done.
-
Activator (Influencing): Talented at making things happen by turning thoughts into action and reaching impressive results and goals.
Personally:
I am a retired equine competitor, spending 20 years showing on the American Quarter Horse Circuit (AQHA). I achieved hefty goals of finishing in my events' top 10 and top 5.
Currently, I have picked up dirt bike riding and am loving it. Dirt biking is very new to me and a complete rush! I also like riding mountain bike riding, paddle boarding, and exploring on ATVs. I love anything outdoors.
I have one son, a bomb expert in the Air Force. Yes, I am proud momma bear :)
I am passionate about helping others and spend time assisting several non-profits with their marketing efforts:
-
ABRA - American Buckskin Horse Association, Inc.
-
AMRA - Arizona Motorcycle Racing Association
