Why did you choose the MS-RMI Program at FSU?

How did your graduate education help shape your professional experiences?

It enhanced my application of insurance terms and concepts. 

How has working in your industry changed the way you look at the world?

Yes, it has. Insurance is a solution and gives people hope. 

How have you stayed connected to the FSU MS-RMI Program?

Who do you look to for inspiration?

My kids are my inspiration. They keep me honest and motivate me to always challenge the norm. They encourage me to be authentic and not perfect, but the best person I can be so that I’m a good example for them. And they give me hope for the future by always being accepting and respectful of those who are different from them. We all could learn from our future.
