Why are you passionate about the Workforce Council and our work?
I’m passionate about the Workforce Council and our work because right now, more than ever, a strong workforce is needed. I’m especially passionate about the youth in our community and ensuring their success in the workforce. The younger generations are future leaders in our community and our country. It’s imperative that we reach them to inspire hard work and to encourage them to take pride in the work of their choosing.
What was your first job?
Landscaping in the summer of 2009 in middle Tennessee. The humidity was brutal, but I always enjoyed the manual labor. It fostered resilience and hard work at a young age.
What’s one piece of professional advice you received that has stuck with you throughout your career?
My Dad and I are big fans of the Rocky movies. Naturally, my favorite piece of advice comes from one of the Rocky movies: “But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.” – Rocky Balboa
