Delivering newspapers for the Capital Gazette in Anne Arundel County.
After 10 years with Carroll County Public Schools, I wanted a change. I love working with people, and the entrepreneurial opportunity that was presented to me by Ting Internet was a challenge that really excited me. After nearly 10 years with Ting, I had the opportunity to take on this role with Antietam Broadband helping to expand availability of fast, reliable internet to the rest of Carroll County. My job is all about connection – connecting with people and connecting people to a better internet experience. I love the work that I do.
I am most proud of the fact that I earned PMP certification. I am a certified Project Management Professional with the Project Management Institute, and wow – it’s changed the way I work, and has helped me to be organized and really achieve project success.
One of my favorite local businesses is Shipley’s Fine Jewelry in Hampstead. What amazing staff and such a beautifully cultivated selection of jewelry. Seth has quite an amazing store!
I enjoy volunteering with and supporting Habitat for Humanity of Carroll County – helping families on the journey to owning a home of their own.
With my family – watching one of my sons in their sports adventures or supporting the local breweries in Carroll County.
I really like the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard. He celebrates the messiness of being a human, and it is really nice to listen to people share their honest stories and be vulnerable. This podcast, and many of the people they have interviewed, have provided me tidbits of information that have helped me through my life journey.
I think Mike McMulllin would say it’s, “She Drives Me Crazy,” by Fine Young Cannibals. 🙂
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it. – William Arthur Ward
I enjoy collaborating with local business leaders and working toward common goals that make our community an even better place to live, work, shop, eat and more.
