"Growing up, I always liked numbers and math, and I liked to be strategic as well. Compensation analysis and management combine both, so I took a dual educational path in HR and accounting. Salaries are a key part of attracting new employees. It's my job to ensure we are paying enough, but not too much. It's also my job to ensure we have the proper pay mixes. I get the chance to research and analyze, which is a perfect match for me."
