EDUCATION: University of Florida (BS)

FIRST JOB: I worked at Mr. Donut starting at 14. During summers in high school, I worked for the Community Recreation Center.

DREAM ALTERNATE CAREER: I have always been drawn to real estate development and the creativity of sales and marketing.

SOMETHING SURPRISING: Long story, but in my 20s, I was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and a surveillance procedures specialist in a nuclear power plant.

HOBBY: Writing family stories to share with my grandchildren. I do love to play the piano — for recreation, not performance.

INDUSTRY TREND: Two things seem to be prevalent in the financial services industry. One would be fraud. Both the amount of fraud and the constant change in the types of fraud being presented are very concerning. This is a constant issue and something that keeps me up at night. The second issue is AI. While there are varying views on AI, I believe AI will positively impact the financial services industry and its employees over time.
