Q&A

What do you love most about being part of Inspirion?

Being part of a team whose focus is helping its clients.

What qualities of yours make you best suited to what you do?

My family has two mottos: “Laughter is the best medicine” and “One day at a time.” These have instilled in me a good sense of humor and a habit of greeting everyone with a smile. When things become challenging, I take things one step at a time.

What was the most influential book you’ve read and why?

During COVID, I finished War & Peace, and it fascinated me from the beginning — reading about characters over such a long period of time and how they grew and evolved. It was a good reminder that we all grow and change with the passage of time. It influenced me to give myself grace, knowing that change is sometimes a good thing.

If you could be anywhere, where would you be?

I have found being by water is the most relaxing, stress-free environment, so definitely sitting by a lake with a book!

What personal accomplishments are you most proud of?

I am immensely proud of my two boys (one is a teenager, and the other is a pre-teen). I find the challenges that come along with raising boys to be good, caring people very rewarding. Oh, and I kept a fun-fair goldfish alive for eight years!
