A key WHY for me is helping others. I am a teacher by trade and am now blessed to help others improve the experience they have working at Mayo.

This is such a GREAT challenge and way to help us all appreciate the great work we do and why we do it. Thanks and I am looking forward to seeing other people's WHY!

Every day, I am going to challenge myself to ask others about their WHY and encourage them to share it here. 🙂

My work gives me a platform to practice mastery of my skills and strengths and to be creative. I also enjoy the challenge. There is a sense of accomplishment helping individuals transform within one or many domains of their personal well-being, empowering them to see in themselves what they did not and instill in them a belief that their goals are possible.
