Challenge
"I love that Kennedy Reid trusts me to challenge what’s right. I'm given the confidence and courage to speak up, educate both clients and candidates and guide decisions that are rooted in integrity, not convenience. This helps build stronger connections with my clients, through genuine, long-term relationships grounded in honesty, consistency, and care. I believe in doing things properly, no shortcuts and always doing what’s right, even when it’s not the easiest path."
