What does Kite Hill’s value of balance mean to you? What are you doing in your day-to-day to embody this value? The value of balance means that Kite Hill cares about me beyond what I can do for them, which is rare. While prioritizing work responsibilities is vital, it’s also important that companies acknowledge how valuable personal maintenance is for its team members. I embody this value in my day-to-day life by taking a brief step away from work when I need to decompress and regroup. This creates a positive cycle because when you feel stable outside of work, you are more productive during work!

Words to live by – What is your mantra in life? I’m not ready, but I’m qualified!

Favorite tech tool: Camera Connect - I shoot self-portraits in my spare time and being able to sync this app to my Canon is a lifesaver, especially since I wear both the photographer and model hat most times!

What song is the soundtrack to your life? “Masterpiece” by Jazmine Sullivan

Favorite publication: Essence

What is your kindred spirit? According to an online quiz, my spirit animal is a panda! They’re calm and gentle souls, but also strong and determined. I’ll take that!

Fun fact about you: I’m the host of The Boujee Boss Up Podcast - a show dedicated to helping women boss up in their business, their relationships, and their self-development!
