"I find it rewarding when someone transitions from not knowing what to do when they start a job to be successful in their position. I've had the opportunity to mentor new employees who are now successful in their position, and it's a great feeling knowing that I've helped them with that success. Along with that, I want to grow in my career and continue to help this company grow."

"I am a huge advocate for the employee and customer experience and enjoy being able to make a positive impact. L&D gives me an opportunity to transfer knowledge, learn, and help others grow to succeed. I thrive on finding new ideas and creative ways to present the learning material. Overall, one of the most enjoyable factors for me is planning, researching, and learning. I like the challenges that come with each new training and development program. Once I find out what the company stakeholders are looking for from me as an instructor and the results they are looking for the employees to achieve from my training, I see it as a challenge to exceed all expectations. When I can have fun while learning, developing teams, and our business success through providing training that delivers the quality and service our customers desire, it's gratifying. My career as a Training and Development Manager has been incredibly rewarding."
