Hobbies: I coach high school soccer in the fall. I also play soccer in a couple of adult leagues. I love to garden as well.
Favorite Trip: My favorite trip by far was to Glacier National Park.
I am passionate about preserving National Parks for the next generation, being sustainable at home, and getting more girls and women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math programs and careers.
Camper or Glamper? Most definitely a glamper. :)
We need to make sure that women have a seat at the table when decisions are being made. The more input we get from a diverse background, the better the company will do, the better the industry will do, and so on.
I majored in Environmental Science at Purdue. It’s been a passion of mine since I was younger - I made my family start recycling after joining the Sierra Club in high school.
I have met a lot of talented, smart women along the way. Many of them have turned into friends and some of them I still get to work with at Encamp.
I would have to say it’s my desire to learn more. Every job after college, I’ve always asked for more responsibility so that I could learn more aspects of the job, learn more about the company, and learn more about the regulatory landscape.
In previous jobs, I have felt like my opinions and feedback weren’t taken seriously because of my age, gender, and years of experience. When you know you’re not being taken seriously, it’s disheartening at first. But after some time passes, this generally motivates me to work harder and encourages me to be louder when I know I should have a seat at the table.
I think the EHS industry could benefit immensely from technology. Now that I’m at Encamp, I can see a real potential for technology to really help EHS managers balance workload, improve their data, and keep their employees safe and their facilities in compliance.

Work hard and persevere - when someone says you can’t do that or you don’t know enough about a certain topic, prove them wrong.
Stick to your gut.
