Top Character Strengths

HONESTY - FAIRNESS - LOVE OF LEARNING

Personality Profile

What character strength do you value the most and why? 
I value honesty above all. I feel it is important to be honest about oneself and others. Honesty gives people a place to start. Sometimes honesty can be a difficult concept, but trust is based on honesty and honesty is a cornerstone of relationships. While teamwork did not come up in my top three, I value teamwork as an integral part of relationships and if we are honest with one another we can succeed together.

How do your top character strengths support your work at TMF? 
I thoroughly enjoy learning new things. As a teacher, love of learning and curiosity are the basic tenets I foster in my students. The “why” matters as much as the facts and I think my desire to understand things will help me better serve in my role and support those around me.

What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
I am inspired by other people’s strength of character and life stories. Veterans and survivors have stories to share and being able to listen to them is a privilege. Overall, being around people like this make me a better person. I am grateful!
