What propelled you to join WICT Network Southeast? What propelled me to join WICT Network Southeast was primarily for networking purposes with other professionals in the Telecommunication/Technology world.  I have always aspired to get more knowledge about our field and share best practices with others.

  • Over the past year the world has faced major challenges. What is one piece of practical advice you have gained from WICT Network Southeast events that can benefit others? The best advice I can offer is to work with individuals who will challenge you to work outside of your comfort zone.  It builds character and emotional intelligence.   Make sure not to avoid difficult situations, make sure to embrace challenges that seem beyond your scope, and never be complacent.

In Celebration of PRIDE and Juneteenth Holiday: I appreciate working for a company that is diverse and inclusive, where opportunities are extended to people regardless of their orientation and we are encouraged to be open and active in the workplace and community.  I am comfortable with being who I am, and this organization meets me there, without judgment.
