Hi. I've been an area resident for almost 30 years and have held Sales/Marketing roles since 1994. In 2013 I ventured out on my own to serve small business leaders in areas of personal and professional growth. In the process, I stretched myself in unexpected ways. I now recognize how much of an honor and privilege it is to be invited into someone's world, be it personal or professional. My words and actions matter, and it's my responsibility to do good in a non-transactional way. I'm not proud of some of the sales tactics I used in my early years, especially when Mama taught me to respect people without expecting anything in return. That goes for competitors too. I re-learned that lesson and today I'm having a great time getting to know community business leaders on that basis. I'm very happy to be a part of the Springfield Chamber.
