What has been the most challenging moment in your career and how did you overcome it? When my company moved me to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I was working from home remotely for almost a year. I missed the collaboration of a team and wasn’t sure what next steps looked like in this market. Now we have an office, four employees, wonderful vendors and many clients who are the perfect fit for our culture!
