Is there anything else you want to share with the community about yourself? Favorite conference was Chicago. It was my first and it made me realize how underserved the credential analysis community was by other organizations Most adventurous thing – motherhood How did I end up at TR? I was pregnant and did not want to go back to work and Peggy needed help with her new business; the rest is history! Advice for newbies – Find yourself 2 people. One who is just as new to everything as you are, and one who is seasoned. Allow the seasoned professional to mentor you and figure things out as you go with the other newbie.
