Get to Know the SLA Team!
In a baseball game, if you were going up to hit, what would be your walk-up music?
It’s hard to pick just one! The opening of the Passion Pit song, “Moth’s Wings,” brings a smile to my face and gets me going. I would also select Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” because it just makes me want to show you my dance moves.
What is your favorite book?
A book that I’ve read recently and recommend to you is Serve to Be Great: Leadership Lessons from a Prison, a Monastery, and a Boardroom by Matt Tenney. I had the opportunity to hear Matt Tenney speak at a conference in 2016 and he has inspired me to enhance my leadership skills each and every day. Here’s a few of my key takeaways:
- Servant leaders achieve true power by empowering others to achieve excellence.
- Presence is the greatest gift we can give someone.
- During your interactions, be fully present, listening with the intent to understand.
- Biggest blocks to innovation are bureaucracy and fear. Create a culture that people aren’t afraid to challenge status quo.
- To attract top talent, look for individuals who are attentive, fully engaged, and want to be there.
- Always give back (proceeds from the sale of the book are donated to charity).
What is one fun fact about you?
I love music—going to concerts, playing the piano, and dancing. I’ve had a lot of fun creating carpool karaoke videos with my colleagues and friends. It’s a great bonding moment with so many laughs that last a lifetime!

What is your favorite book?
I recently finished Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis (just love her) but love to pick up and try almost any new book.
