As director of engagement and inclusion, I am responsible for the overall strategy of Acxiom’s IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Awareness) Council, which works to advance Acxiom’s DEI strategies. I create an engaging workplace culture that drives inclusivity, innovation, collaboration, teamwork and appreciation for associates. I build partnerships with organizations and community leaders to change the communities where we live.
Dealing with the effects of societal injustices in the world over the past few years and how those have impacted our workplace as it relates to diversity and inclusion.
My first job as a 16-year-old people greeter at Walmart taught me the value of kindness and how a kind word could change a person's entire day.
The CALL is a Christian nonprofit organization that serves local children and youth placed in foster care.
The incredible people I work with and how the work I do directly impacts our company culture and our community.
The opportunity to partner with Acxiom leadership and community leaders working together to make our community better for associates and those who live here.
I've always had a passion for helping people and working in an environment where I can make an impact.
DEI starts with having empathy, respect, kindness and showing humanity to others. It's really that simple.
I pause and direct my attention to a fun craft project to allow myself time to clear my head and refocus.
