Invisible service is my forte. I have worked in the closest environment with my principal and always upheld my professional boundaries and their privacy. My goal is to deliver the lifestyle that they envision without sacrificing their personal comfort. My core values, morals, and ethics are based on my mid-western conservative upbringing in a large family. I was born in East Chicago, Indiana and grew up in Hammond, Indiana. As the oldest of 8 children, I was relied upon to assist my mother with the household chores. In these simple ways, I discovered my love of personal service and the immediate sense of pride and purpose that comes with a job well done (as equally evidenced by my 20 year career in law enforcement and as a personal assistant. I am confident, versatile and energetic with an outgoing personality, infectious smile, and can-do attitude supported by a strong hands-on work ethic. I believe in thinking ahead and always have a Plan A, B, and C to cover all the possibilities. I am a natural leader, developing teams of service providers by displaying my empathy, honesty, integrity and compassion. In short, staff members are willing to follow my lead, not out of intimidation, but because of trust and respect.
