What do you do?
As the CEO of Midwest Print Solutions, I am dedicated to steering our organization towards continued growth, innovation, and success. With a dynamic blend of strategic vision and hands-on leadership, I orchestrate the alignment of our teams, resources, and initiatives to achieve our corporate objectives.
What investments have you made in your professional career development?
As a CEO, I recognize the paramount importance of continuous professional development in both personal growth and organizational success. Over the course of my career, I have made strategic investments in various areas to enhance my skills, knowledge, and leadership capabilities.
I prioritize ongoing education and learning opportunities. This includes attending industry conferences, workshops, and seminars to stay abreast of emerging trends, best practices, and innovative strategies within our field.
What investments have you made in your personal development?
In prioritizing my personal development, I’ve recognized the critical importance of nurturing my well-being alongside my professional responsibilities. Integrating self-care practices into my routine has been instrumental in fostering resilience, balance, and overall fulfillment.
Yoga has become a large part of my growth journey, providing not only physical benefits but also mental clarity and emotional resilience. Through regular practice, I’ve cultivated mindfulness, stress management techniques, and a deeper connection with myself, which ultimately enhances my effectiveness as a leader.
How can the industry proactively invest in women, and why should this be a priority?
I am of the firm belief that the print industry has a significant opportunity to proactively invest in women by engaging with them at the school level. Additionally, providing shadowing opportunities alongside accomplished women within the industry could be immensely beneficial.
