Where is an exciting place you have visited or an incredible view you have seen?
In 2002, my family spent 20 days tent camping throughout the Southwest. From New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and home through St. Louis. Our children, ages 14 and 10, will never forget the sites we saw. They included actual Road Runners and Saguaro cactus in the Arizona desert, the Grand Canyon, and the five Utah National Parks.
What are some causes you support?
As a family, we support Lifeline of Ohio’s Organ Donation Registry Program and the Stephanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. As a breast cancer survivor, I encourage all women to have a yearly mammogram. Early detection is key!
What was your first job?
My first job was as a Senior in my High School’s Business Program. I attended school in the morning and worked part-time for The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) as an Administrative Assistant. Fast forward 23 years, after raising children, working part-time, and going back to school to earn my Accounting degree, my first full-time job was at ASNT as Controller & Assistant to the CFO.
