How do you “Have Fun Working Hard®”?
I Have Fun Working Hard® by listening to the office’s daily chaos, buzz, and loudness. If you work hard, you will achieve greatness – in turn, creating experts!
What is your favorite way to get involved at ALKU?
For ten years, I mentored a child and ate lunch with him weekly. Mentorship changed my life for the better and is something I continue to prioritize today. Therefore, my favorite way to get involved at ALKU is by helping others. Everyone at ALKU has Volunteer Time Off opportunities, so the entire company can pay it forward!
What is your day-to-day life like outside of ALKU?
Outside of ALKU, I am always staying busy and on the go. I love being outdoors. You can find me boating, golfing, or kayaking; other hobbies include playing the saxophone, watching movies, and watching the Red Sox and Patriots.
