Personality Profile
What character strength do you value the most and why?
The character strength I value most in myself is honesty. Being genuine and sincere in how I present myself has shaped my commitment to integrity—doing what’s right, even when it’s unpopular or difficult. Honesty has taught me to hold myself accountable, to take ownership of my actions and emotions, and to consider the impact of my choices on others. I’m quick to acknowledge my own shortcomings, to apologize when I’m wrong, and to seek growth through every experience and lesson. While honesty is the quality I most strongly identify with, I deeply admire and appreciate many other character strengths in others—and often find myself aspiring to embody more of them in my own life.
How do your top character strengths support your work at TMF?
I believe my top character strengths keep me grounded in my values and deeply committed to advancing TMF’s mission through hard work, collaboration, accountability, and a constant pursuit of excellence. Traits like honesty, self-regulation, fairness, and judgment help me show up as a dependable and trusted colleague, while my sense of humor brings levity to everyday moments—and a bit of light when it’s needed most.
What do you enjoy most about working with veterans, survivors, and inspired civilians?
I’m deeply inspired by the sense of community, camaraderie, and support that grows from meaningful opportunities for connection, shared understanding, and belonging.
