"I believe that diversity in the workplace is one of the fundamental components to a company's success, brand story, and reputation. Today, diversity is a much broader conversation than it was when I first entered the workplace twenty years ago. Then, the biggest conversation was about the increase of women in the workplace. Today, a company's diversity plan includes race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical abilities, socioeconomic status, and more. The most significant change in my personal view of diversity over the years is my realization that diversity has to go far beyond thought and move into action while including a broader range of groups. I am passionate about D&I, and I look forward to bringing my perspective to Cigna Corp."
