Personal and Career Goals: 
My goals are a work in progress. At the moment I am focusing on how to balance a full-time job with new Motherhood. My long-term goal is to learn more about myself and find a career that can combine my strengths with my values.

What objectives do you hope to accomplish as a CHATS member?
To become a better communicator and more confident in my ability to connect to the audience.

Yes, I provide training on a variety of topics throughout the year to 20 – 30 employees.

When responding to questions, not knowing the right thing to say.
