What character strength do you value the most and why? 
I value kindness most because I believe how we treat people matters. Whether it’s taking time to listen, offering support, or simply making someone feel seen and valued, small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact. I think kindness also helps build trust and meaningful relationships, both personally and professionally.

I think these strengths complement each other and are especially valuable in communications. Kindness and social intelligence help me connect with people, listen to their experiences, and tell their stories with empathy and respect. Teamwork and honesty help me build trust and collaborate effectively, while my love of learning keeps me curious and open to new perspectives. Together, these strengths help me communicate authentically and share stories that connect people to TMF’s mission.

After 20 years in the Navy, what I value most are the people, the relationships, and the shared sense of purpose. I love being around people who believe in serving something bigger than themselves. I love that TMF brings together veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians who share that same spirit of service and want to make a positive impact on their communities.
