I am here with WhirlWind because we do amazing work. We have helped our government customer with very significant contracts, ranging from simple equipment upgrades to more weighty efforts on their employee assistance programs. Both are important, and the point is we really make a difference no matter what we do. When we help, we help in real, tangible ways.

My team is full of generous and hardworking people. I can feel pride in the work my team and I accomplish on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. I see them going the extra mile regularly, and our customers often give us raving reviews. When we need to improve, we work on it until it is right.

At WhirlWind, we get to participate in team-building events and health-creating contests regularly. Recent examples are our game show happy hour holiday event and the exercise mileage competition to see who ran the most miles in a month! We use our core values to give point bonuses and publicly praise every staff member when goals are reached, and milestones are celebrated.

Outside of my work, I am focused on my two beautiful kids and my extended family. I am a transplant from Arizona to Northern Virginia, so although I have been here 20+ years, I am still getting used to the cold. Any beach is my favorite place, and I love to get out in nature. There is nothing like the silence between the trees.
