In life, my goal is to create an environment for everyone around me to feel valued. That extends to my family, friends, community, and postal team. As Postmaster I oversee six offices in the city of Greenville, SC. I am responsible for all delivery of mail from the city to the mountains.
The biggest compliment I can receive is when someone tells me that I am a true lover of people and of helping others succeed. I enjoy identifying what is most important to others, cultivating opportunities for them and creating conditions for all to demonstrate their professional and personal best. I find beauty all round.
It is beautiful to see the growth and diversity of the Upstate- a people that have banded together to revitalize and build an amazing environment for generations to thrive. When someone invests themselves in the care and comfort of others that is beautiful. As I look to the future, I want to remain passionate and engaged. I want to mentor and develop young women in underserved areas of the Upstate to become the confident, skilled, professionals that will carry the Upstate into a beautiful future.
