Embodying Spectrum’s Principles
I feel a deep connection to this principle because at Spectrum, we truly go beyond just functioning as a team—we operate more like a family. We not only collaborate in the office but also spend time together outside of work, strengthening our bonds and building trust that extends into the work we do for our clients. I believe these moments help us work better together and foster a level of care and support that’s rare in most workplaces.
As someone with a young family, achieving balance between work and home life is incredibly important to me. I strive to be fully present at home, making sure that I’m there for the meaningful moments and milestones as my children grow. One of the ways my family and I ensure we maintain balance is by taking a trip to a national park every year. This tradition allows us to disconnect from the day-to-day life. It’s a special time where we focus on being together, and it helps me return to work with a refreshed perspective, ready to support my clients with the same dedication I bring to my family.
