Can you tell us about your journey within onPeak and the different departments you’ve worked in? What lessons and insights have you learned along the way?
Once upon a time when onPeak was but a small company, I was there rocking my Account Manager hat. As an Account Manager I juggled responsibilities for both our current Account Executive and Group Services Associate roles. After we became a part of the GES family and our team expanded; I wore the hats of Account Executive, HIRM, and now Product Manager. I’ve been able to work with teams I both respect and have fun with; and have met some of my closest friends here. I’ve learned that growth isn’t linear and that you can’t go on a journey without a little change.
What do you think sets onPeak apart in terms of its approach to employee development and support?
Our leadership excels at helping us uncover our true interests and then incorporate those passions into our roles. I’ve always loved problem-solving, poking around in Compass deadlands, and asking, “What does that button do?” Leadership actually pointed me in the direction of Product Management, and it couldn’t be a more perfect fit for me.
Can you share an accomplishment or project that you’re particularly proud of during your tenure here?
In 2022, I had the opportunity to enroll in a Product Management certification course. For the final project I chose to create a travel app. I know…shocker. I wanted to amp up my design skills, so I used the same toolbox our Product team uses daily. Since then, every project I’ve tackled at onPeak has benefited from those newfound skills. Kudos to my leadership team for fueling my professional glow-up!
If you could create your own holiday, what would it be called?
GPS Appreciation Day. Let’s be honest…if Google Maps or Waze disappeared there would be a nationwide panic. I live in Atlanta where it takes 45 minutes to get 5 miles and 45 minutes to get 20 miles. GPS…you make it make sense and you let me be late, but on purpose. Let’s give you your flowers.
What’s your favorite hobby or pastime outside of work?
Clubbing in Barnes and Noble, taking someone else’s dog to the park, happy tears in pilates every Saturday, avoiding complicated parking, brunching with a gluten allergy, Bollywood movies and K-Dramas, Baby Yoda home décor, and I can make a fire guac.
