Q: Why is diversity and inclusion (D&I) important?
D&I is important because all of our differences make a strong, beautiful, world community. We need diverse new ideas, views, and practices to stimulate and inspire innovation. It is critical to address inequalities and gender biases in the workforce and society so individuals, business and communities can succeed.

Q: How important is it to build your network?
Building your network is the most important thing that you can do for your career. It opens doors and exposes you to opportunities that you normally would not come across. Having a strong network is the bridge to having access to people and organizations that may be out of your immediate reach. It also helps you to help others by being a connection when needed.

Q: What’s your approach to mentoring?
My approach to mentoring is to seek to first understand what the mentee would like to accomplish. I then, align our expectations of each other's role in the relationship and let the mentee set the pace. During each session when scenarios or challenges are presented I ask this question, "Do you want me to listen or to help solve?" This ensures that I am meeting the mentee where they are in my role of helping them with challenging situations. Finally, I recommend books, quizzes, Ted Talks, courses and other people they should connect with so that they are hearing different perspectives on how to navigate their situation from other vantage points; where applicable.

Q: How has NAMIC enhanced your career and personal growth?
NAMIC forced the leader out of me. I never imagined one day that I would be President nor did I think I had the skills for it. NAMIC taught me how to step out of my comfort zone and leverage my strong skills while building and developing not so strong ones. I have been able to put a magnifying glass on key skill sets and identify areas for growth that make me a greater asset to my company and my chapter.
