When did you join the ARF Young Pros? March 2021
What is your proudest professional accomplishment?
My proudest professional accomplishment would be finishing my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. I’ve been working through the different levels for a few years and was excited to get to this level in the program.
What is your biggest professional challenge?
My biggest challenge would be switching career paths from Project Management to Sales and then back to Project Management. Now I am in Product Development and am loving every second of it!
How has being an ARF Young Pro member impacted your career?
N/A, I just joined so I haven’t been able to get much experience yet!
When researching a topic you know nothing about, how do you get started?
I generally start my research by finding somebody who may know about the topic and asking them for more information. From there, I will generally go to the internet to explore different articles and publications on whatever it is that I’m looking for.
What’s an example of a company/ brand that you think is doing a great job?
I think that Target is doing a great job right now. I work with the company on occasion and have seen some of the amazing things that they have done for their employees and customers in local areas during these rough times.
What is your favorite restaurant in your city?
Umi (Sushi)
What is your favorite show/program?
Currently Good Girls, but it changes based on how I’m feeling!
What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
I would love to travel the world and capture stories and experiences from people of all different backgrounds. I absolutely love learning and feel that learning about a variety of cultures would come in handy!
