Top challenge facing Arkansas
“The refusal to lead with empathy and embrace people who think differently than you.”
Professional “aha” moment
“It was actually before I began my career. I failed a biology exam when I was a sophomore in college because I did not study enough. I was really embarrassed and did not want to feel that way again. It taught me the importance of needing to stay focused on the work and not just hoping for the result.”
One word to describe you
“Persistent.”
Career dream as a child
“I do not remember having a career dream as a child. I just know that the values and work ethic instilled in me by my parents and family have led me to a dream career as an adult.”
