What is your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of the job is the opportunity to help others solve a problem! I created Mom Pod Co. and all of my child care resources and services with a focus on improving systems and helping ease the burden of child care stress. Affordable and accessible quality care should not be an issue. Child care is essential. I started Book a Pro as a single mom busy with graduate school and the police academy. I wanted help and couldn’t afford it, so I came up with my own business. I realize that when I’m facing a challenge, other people are probably facing something similar; I hope to come up with ways to solve my problems while helping others. 

What community projects or charity work are you involved in, and why are they important to you?

I try to get involved in my community as often as possible. That’s where you find your people, especially in the service industry. I coach track and field for Hunter High High and am on the board of directors for a nonprofit based out of Zambia, Africa. I am a working group leader for A Bolder Way Forward in the child care spoke. I believe in the power of community!
