Strongest attributes

Overcoming defeat and rejection. It's a tough market and everyone doesn't play nice. Having the ability to turn defeat into triumph. Handling rejection with poise, and having the ability to see the other person's point of view as well as from your own.

Candidates’s definition of leadership

Leadership is owning responsibility to stand up for what is right. A leader is an advocate for others and being a voice for the oppressed. It is mastering the art of collaboration and recognizing the differences in others as a strength of collaboration and not a threat to a person's individual abilities.

Candidate’s vision

My vision is that Canopy continues to serve the underserved and provide resources for the Realtors®. I want agents to see the value in being a member of Canopy. Canopy supports all people. They support inclusion, racial and economic equality. I am thankful to be a part of such an amazing Organization.
