MY FIRST JOB AND WHAT IT TAUGHT ME
Having started a full-time job at Alltel as a junior in college, I learned resilience, prioritization, hard work and stick-to-itiveness. I have carried those lessons 20 years later.
WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO MY JOB EVERY DAY
The people. Our Client Experience team is passionate about growing individually and that makes coaching fun. Other colleagues at Apptegy also push you to grow, so I look forward to that each day.
BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN MY CAREER
I’m tasked with growing and scaling a large department, while not losing the quality of service and relationships with our customers and also our internal teams. I am constantly focused on how to maintain the right balance.
ONE THING I WISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT MY COMPANY
The number of growth opportunities we have is limitless. The skills you learn in our Client Experience team can be applied to any career path within and outside of Apptegy.
WHAT KEEPS ME MOTIVATED:
Family. My parents came to Little Rock in 1979 without much to their name, which showed me the importance of hard work. Now I have two sons for whom I strive to be an example in the way my parents were.
