LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY SERVICE
“Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think and talk about the problems.”
~ Brian Tracy
I am a Servant Leader. I lead by example. My actions speak louder than my words. I am a woman of my word, holding integrity, honesty, and authenticity as traits that I value the most. I lead by teaching others to step up and letting them shine on their own.
​
I am willing to do the hard work, the small tasks to get the work done when needed. I believe good leaders work in collaboration with their teams and are willing to do the same work. I am a solution finder, an innovative thinker, and encourage those that I work with to think outside of the box to find an answer.
​
As a leader in the business community, I face unique challenges that require creativity to get work done. I have repeatedly shown that I will put in the hard work and successfully collaborate across multiple teams. I am all too familiar with working side by side with individuals in which I do not see eye to eye. It is in these times that I shine the most as I take pride in actively listening to other opinions and finding compromise when possible, all the while staying true to my values and what I believe.
Let me assure you that being a Servant Leader and one who leads with her heart does not mean that I am weak. I know when to fight for what is right. I know when to “go to the mat” for something I said would fight for. I will fight for the people of Burleson, for what they want for our city, for their families, for the place they call home.
