“One of the things I love about working at Purple is that each client and team is different. I love the challenge of learning new things and facing new hurdles every day.”

“I think the most successful people in life are good listeners who are not afraid to ask questions. If you put these two practices to the test, you will find success.”

“My experience working in politics for various members of Congress and congressional committees exposed me to a wide range of policy issues and personalities. I learned how to tailor communication and management styles to meet members of Congress, reporters, clients and colleagues where necessary, enabling me to build effective relationships.
