“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” – Oprah Winfrey

How are you a leader? I am the senior director of the CFL team. In that role, I try to model the way for the members of the team. I oversee, facilitate and encourage the individual talents of our team members to work together and lead us to group excellence. It’s an incredible position full of opportunity and one that makes me a stronger leader every day.

How are you a leader? Through all of my Elon experiences, especially with the Center for Leadership and Gospel Choir, I have been able to meet so many amazing people. I love sitting down with a cup of coffee and listening to people’s life stories; everyone has an interesting and beautifully unique story. I think that it is my personable and empathic approach that has allowed me to become a leader!
