What has your mentor taught you?
As a sister and mentor, Kristen is my daily motivator and inspiration to change the world. Since we were younger, she has taught me the importance of staying true to your values and personal mission no matter what the situation may be. If a decision or situation does not align with those values, it is okay to redirect your goals and priorities!
What do you enjoy most about working at Step Up?
The ability to collaborate with outstanding thought leaders and creatives! I learn something new every single day and am grateful for the personal and professional growth I have experienced from those I work with!
