I try to demonstrate that both professionally and personally. For example, I am treasurer for an organization that provides food support for those in \u0003need. And with 3 kids under 10, I enjoy helping them to learn to be confident, sensitive to others\u2019 needs as well as helping to improve their skills on and \u0003off the sports field.<\/p><p>I always knew I wanted to major in business gravitating toward accounting\/ finance. During my senior year I par- ticipated in a national tax competition and I was offered a scholarship to the University of Denver. This has had a major influence on my life choices.<\/p><p>Throughout my career, mentors have encouraged me to be confident in advocating for myself and my ideas in team meetings and more broadly with senior leaders. This has led me to tackle new opportunities and become a results-oriented team player who stays calm in stressful situations.<\/p><p>With additional hands-on experience and observing leadership in practice by mentors and colleagues, I gained insight on how to be a good leader: it is critical to constantly communicate and not be afraid to challenge consensus. I found that most successful managers are active listeners, candid and honest. These are concepts I try to convey to younger colleagues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSIFM has enabled me to network within the insurance industry where I would not have otherwise had direct exposure.
