Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You can't do everything on your own.
How I responded:
My tendency to be independent and want things done the way I want is a source of conflict in a team environment like this job. I've had to learn to step back and let others help and know when to ask for help.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I grew up in poverty. I received my GED my senior year of high school and moved in with my future husband. He went on to join the military and we moved away from the area, supporting each other in our career endeavors.
