Q: If you weren’t working for VisionSpark, what would you be doing?

A: I would start my own business, focusing on helping individuals find ways to increase their life’s success. Many people do not know what options are out there, or have never been trained on how to achieve certain career or life goals. I want to help them achieve those goals in any way possible.

Q: What are you doing personally or professionally to further your development?

A: I ask as many questions as possible. You must learn to remove the fear of asking. Many people want to help you grow, but they cannot read your mind. As a professional, you must learn to humble yourself and ask the right questions. When you do, you’ll surround yourself with individuals who are willing to teach you and mentor your professional life forward.
