Personal Profile

I have worked as an educator my entire career and I really do enjoy that moment when someone finally understands something. I thrive for that moment when someone “gets it” or has that “aha” moment. I am a lifelong learner that loves helping other lifelong learners.

My career has taken me to many places and provided me with very unique experiences that have made me into the leader I am today. My full-time career is with Panasonic North America where I am the Midwest Technical Service Representative. In this role, I am in charge of our training delivery team of about 4 employees across the midwest and east coast. I am often looked at as an agent of change as my personality lends itself well to adapting to the changes around me. I do a lot of reading and you can see my recommendations for books here!

In the past, I ran a photography studio in Nova Ohio where I photographed over 500 seniors, weddings, and events in mid-Ohio over the last 10 years. Now I love travel photography and landscape work as I travel for my career over 150 days a year. I am currently working towards my craftsman degree from PPA and I am the past President of the Akron Society of Professional Photographers.
