Describe your process: I'm a planner by nature and believe the best results come from a combination of organization, communication, and attention to detail. I like to stay several steps ahead, anticipate needs, and find the right balance between quality, value, and timing. I approach every project with a problem-solving mindset and believe strong relationships and clear communication are just as important as getting the details right. My goal is to make the procurement process as seamless as possible so the creative team can focus on what they do best.
Quote relevant to your work life: "Great work happens when creativity meets a little organization and a lot of follow-through."

Who is the best movie villain: Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy. He may not be the traditional villain, but he's proof that sometimes the bad guy has the biggest heart.
What is the next thing on your bucket list: Traveling to Japan! It's been on our list for a while, we are excited to experience the culture, food, and everything in between.
Where would you relocate if you were forced to leave the country: I'm a firm believer that the United States is the greatest country in the world, so leaving isn't something I'd willingly choose! That said, Toronto would be my pick. My husband and I travel frequently and love discovering new places, but Toronto is one city we find ourselves returning to time and time again.
