I’m proudest of…
My passion for people. Every day, I get the opportunity to work with clients changing the status quo in their industries, with reporters searching for new perspectives and with members of the local community looking to build lasting partnerships. Fostering these relationships requires empathy, trust and creativity – all of which fuel my work at RH.
