You have two weeks off and a plane ticket to go anywhere. Where would you go? I would really love to explore Greece! It looks so beautiful there.
What would you like your fellow COTS partners to know about you? There are so many layers to who I am. I enjoy the structure of admin and behind-the-scenes work, but I’m also naturally creative. I love makeup, content creation, planning, and exploring the business side of things!

What made you decide to be a physician/nurse/EMT/emergency manager (whatever your chosen career path)? While I’m not in a clinical role, I’ve always been someone who enjoys supporting others and making things run smoothly behind the scenes. Choosing to work as an Administrative Coordinator at COTS felt like a natural fit because it allows me to contribute to a mission-driven organization while using my strengths in organization, planning, and coordination.
What hobbies do you participate in your free time? In my free time, I enjoy a mix of creative and organized activities. I love makeup and content creation on social media, which allows me to express my creativity.

What’s the best career advice you ever received? The best career advice I’ve received is to not limit myself and to not box myself in to one specific skill set,
What is your favorite thing to do in the Winter season? I love decorating for Christmas, watching Christmas movies, making cookies & creating memories. I also love celebrating my birthday which is also in the winter time. :)

What’s something about your background that people wouldn’t guess? Something people might not expect is that I’m a licensed minister and I host Christian women’s retreats. It’s something I’m deeply passionate about, and I love creating spaces where women can grow, connect in sisterhood, and feel supported.
What was the first concert you attended? I attended a KB concert in 2022!
