Why I Work
“I thrive on being a number 2. I truly enjoy helping another person achieve their goals and vision. When they succeed, I succeed. I delight in freeing up space on their desk for them to work on the projects that bring them the most joy and enrichment. If the leader at the top is thriving, everyone else below them will thrive as well, and I am a key component to them thriving.”

More About Me
Since starting at The People Side, I have had the privilege of supporting the two Managing Partners and have enjoyed the variety of work I get to do and the way the company supports each other and their clients.
After teaching for over 20 years, I realized how much more I enjoyed the administrative side of work. I returned to school and earned a second bachelor’s in Organizational Systems, and for the past ten years, I have worked with various companies to support their executives. I enjoy doing the work they don’t have time to do. I love when I can take things off of their plate that enable them to think bigger and look farther.
When I’m Not Working …
I live in Kansas City, Missouri with my husband Tim and our son Ben. My husband and I met through a dating service and have never looked back. Our family lives on a nice piece of property so on the weekends you will find us hosting a cookout, or chopping down a tree. I love to read and attend any type of development conference. I feel most like myself when I am cooking, organizing a messy office, or spending time with friends and family.
