I value honesty and encourage open communication and feedback. I stand firm in my philosophy that everyone's needs matter! My goal is to continually create a culture where team members feel safe to share their thoughts and concerns, and feel heard and understood when they do. I offer a safe space where I actively listen to and address my team member’s concerns and needs, and in our organization we recognize and celebrate everyone's accomplishments.
I value personal development and continuing education at GSSPS. I prioritize my team's mental health and provide professional development to support them in this area.
