FUN QUESTIONS:
Why did you choose to join the OrgMetrics Team?

I was currently at a crossroads in my working career. I was lucky enough to have gotten to know Rob within our community, our kids’ school and sports. He knew I was looking for something more as my kids were getting older. I feel it was a serendipitous moment when we both realized OrgMetrics would be a perfect fit (for both of us). Now that I’ve been on board as the newest member, I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of such an amazing team!

What gives you the most satisfaction in your work?

When I was hired, my personal goal was to give Rob more time to be with his family. If I can get done what needs to be done in the office to make his job smoother and in less time, that’s it. As I've grown with the company my focus has broadened and now I'm interested in how individuals can expand their personal capacity through implementing DISC. I've found both the research on DISC and the support for teams incredibly rewarding.  But with all of that said, I in turn want to be as present as possible with my own family. Knowing that there is an equal trust in the office and that family always comes first, is a wonderful thing. Daily, I love checking the boxes from my list of things to do. Helping people and teams improve their communication through the DISC is a bonus! The cherry on top is getting home to enjoy time with my favorite people.

Minimalist or Collector? Which suits you best?

For me it’s the people in my life and memories I like to collect. Things don’t mean much to me, if at all, just more stuff to dust. Music on the other hand is a mental time capsule for me, something I can always fall back on. Funny because I married the collector of all collectors.

If you could travel anywhere, right now, where would you go?

Wisconsin in the summer. The house I grew up in, fireflies, lakes, fishing, sunshine, boating, golf, festivals, blues music, the Mississippi River, my parents and fish frys. Makes me homesick just saying it out loud. Every trip fills my cup.

Go-tos

Jeans

If I had to take 3 things on a deserted island, my jeans would for sure be one of them.

Food

I love eating all foods.  Especially when I don’t have to cook it.  I’m always hungry!

Sunshine

Otherwise known as nature’s medicine in my book.  Adding a beach to this image is icing on the cake.

Live music

The kind you can feel it in your bones. This is not only mine, but my husband & kiddos happy place.
