When asked about influences at Warner Pacific that shaped her sense of calling:
“My three years at Warner Pacific resulted in new opportunities and broadening horizons. An internship at a software company translated into my first career job and set me on the path to a career in tech. Encouragement from my math professor gave me confidence to handle the most technically-challenging work, even in my marketing roles. I was blessed to have classes from Dr. Lou Foltz, Dr. Cole Dawson, Ted Takamura, Bonnie Allen, Dr. Marshall Christensen, and so many more.”

“I feel like my strengths are best utilized when people are facing times of change or transition. I see the possibilities and how people and possibilities fit into the big strategic picture. I can inspire confidence and get people moving in a productive direction.  I hope that my legacy is the people that I have empowered, the industries I have helped transform, and innovations I have loved into being.”
