Seeing customers reap the benefits of a solution our team developed or provided is incredibly rewarding. It is amazing to work side-by-side with amazing professionals and ensure they have what they need to be successful every day.

What are some job challenges that you face? 

A big part of my job is culture change. When you are in that business, you will face adversity. Not everyone likes change. Not everyone can see the big picture. Not everyone believes we can do hard things and accomplish big goals. You have to find ways to bring those people along or go around them, and that can be tough.

NMR is the first small business I’ve worked for. I’ve watched NMR double in size over the past few years and it has been like cheering for your favorite sports team. Team NMR has a culture of positivity and support, and that hasn’t changed despite the growth. The growth itself is a testament to our awesome team members and the support leadership provides every day.
