What is your favorite part about serving on the Leadership Team?
The team has so much knowledge and wisdom, there is always someone on the
team who can help collaborate and/or debate an issue to arrive at a solution.
I love the team approach to problem solving and strategizing. We all have
different perspectives, strengths, and departmental interests. When we
discuss things openly and honestly, we come to the best solutions as a
team. In the end, we all want what is best for our employees and FMDH,
we make decisions based on those priorities.
Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in Libby, MT. After 20 years in Seattle, WA, we relocated
to Glasgow in search of a peaceful and safe environment.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy eating at restaurants with friends, cooking, and trying new foods
while sipping a refreshing barley flavored beverage. For television watching
I enjoy silly sitcoms like ‘The Office’ and ‘Parks and
Recreation’ or documentaries.
