Top Character Strengths

LOVE - SPIRITUALITY - ZEST - HUMOR - GRATITUDE

 

Personality Profile

What character strength do you value the most and why?
I value love most. Love is the foundation of how we show up for one another, especially in moments that matter most. It is what allows us to lead with compassion, stay present in hard conversations, and build genuine trust. Love reminds me that service is not transactional, it is relational.

How do your top character strengths support your work at TMF?

My top strengths shape how I serve at TMF every day.

Love keeps people at the center of the mission and reminds me why this work matters.
Spirituality helps me stay grounded, reflective, and anchored to something bigger than myself.
Zest fuels my energy and optimism, especially when the work is challenging or requires perseverance.
Humor creates connection, brings light to heavy moments, and helps build authentic relationships.
Gratitude keeps me humble and present, never losing sight of the privilege it is to serve alongside veterans, families of the fallen, and inspired civilians.

Together, these strengths help me lead with heart, purpose, and consistency.

What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
What I enjoy most is the shared sense of purpose. Veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians show up with courage, humility, and a willingness to serve something greater than themselves. Being trusted with their stories and walking alongside them as they honor fallen heroes is both grounding and motivating. It is a constant reminder that character is built through action, community, and service.
