More Information

Greatest achievement: Personally, becoming a mother, and professionally, how much career growth I have had in my 30s thus far.

Passion project: I am very proud of the “Fit for Life” well-being program I get to be a part of at BIW. I have had the opportunity to support lots of projects that have a positive impact on our employees’ health and well-being. One I am most proud of is our injury prevention program led by athletic trainers who focus on education of ergonomic principles like green zones, task rotation and pre-work warmups. The athletic trainers work side by side with our mechanics to assist using these principles to reduce injuries by limiting contact stress, repetitive motions and awkward positions.

Lightbulb moment: Realizing that success in my career and fulfillment as a mom don’t have to be separate paths. Balancing career growth and motherhood is possible; you can thrive in both.

Influential book: “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” by Stephen R. Covey

Favorite TV show: “Friends”

Personal hero: My grandfather; he believed in me like no one else, and had a strong influence on my life — one that has helped shape who I am today, professionally and personally. The legacy he has left behind will always have a significant impact on who I strive to be.

Favorite quote: My long-term mentor told me at the start of my career, “If you’re comfortable you aren’t growing.”

Best way to recharge: My greatest joys in life are being a wife and mom.

Maine’s biggest challenge: One of Maines’s greatest challenges today is balancing its housing market with the needs of its workforce.

Dinner party guests: I love to cook when I have time, it’s a way I release stress, I would absolutely want to have dinner with Gordon Ramsay mostly to learn a few tips I could use in my own kitchen when cooking for my family. The second person goes back to an elementary school book report on Amelia Earhart. She has always been inspirational to me as one of the first women to fly solo across the Atlantic — I would love to hear more about that journey, and her courage and persistence. The third would be Cleopatra due to her strong leadership and unique challenges. I would be interested to hear her perspective on power and influence.
