Gratitude

Thank you to LMH Health, my colleagues and community change-makers, for welcoming me to your organization and believing in what we can achieve collectively. I’m fueled by your energy.

Thank you to the six SharePoint Saturday organizing committees who provided me with the opportunity this past year to share my passion with your communities.

Thank you to Brenda Hough at Emporia State University for inviting me to speak at my alma mater about my journey.
