“I discovered early in my career how much I value mentoring and supporting people at the start of their professional journey. Through my own family’s experience, I also saw how fortunate my daughters were to grow up with community, safety, and encouragement. Not everyone has that foundation. I joined SPEAK HIRE to give back in a way that felt meaningful and to help ensure more students have access to the opportunities they deserve."
