A 25-year career Certified Administrative Professional has been so rewarding. It's lead me to this moment. Since 2015, I've experienced so many rewarding moments.

​

My professional journey has had its share of roadblocks, but I learned valuable and life-changing lessons after each stumble, shut door and detour. In February 2015, I faced a career-defining moment that would be the catalyst for a true transformation - personally and professionally. It was a challenging time in my life and, I couldn't figure an easy way out. Why? Because there was no easy way out. The only way out was through - my fears, doubts, insecurities and biggest hurdle - the truth. I had to admit I failed and figure out why. That was hard, but I did it with the help of a great mentor and leader (Thank you, Mike Kotubey). I learned that I loathed inefficiency and the term "that's the way we've always done it." After attending an administrative conference with a focus on technology, I returned to the office changed. I was on a mission to revolutionize my professional world through technology. I soaked up all things technology and learned all I could. I achieved my first Microsoft Office Specialist certification in OneNote and as they say the rest is history.

I did stop along the way to pick up other credentials and accolades like achieving my number one Career Bucket List goal: being nominated for the 2020 DFW Admin Awards. Well, I was not only nominated four times for Leadership, I WON!!!
