She said she lives by the following words in her work life: “Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life. Allow yourself to try new things, remember, everything you have ever done you had to do once for the first time. As a Supervisor, TRAIN your staff so that they can work anywhere, TREAT your staff so that they want to work with you. An open door is only as open as your ears are.”
