My role at ms is to identify opportunities where we can grow our business. This is accomplished by working with corporate and regional leadership to create strategic partnerships, expand geographically, and launch new service offerings. I enjoy interacting and strategizing with clients to solve problems and create successful solutions. When I’m not working, I’m either coaching or watching my two high schoolers play basketball, baseball, or softball.
