Being aware of unconscious bias, communicating the importance, promoting equity developing strategic programs and most importantly acknowledging holidays of all different cultures. Making it easy for our people to engage in employee resources and groups to solidify a healthy team. 

Being a leader to me means leading by example. Knowing that every member of my team feels that they have a voice. Being a leader to me is also not telling people what to do but taking the time to educate them on how it should be done also not expecting individuals to do things a leader would not do. 

In five years, I see myself working harder for my team, colleagues and subordinates. I aspire to become a chief in my organization and continue to give those as myself an opportunity to continue to grow professionally in the same token progressing my family on a personal level.
