A
A
My
path
into
city
leadership
was
not
a
traditional
one.
In
fact,
most
of
my
career
has
been
spent
in
the
private
sector,
but
let
me
back
up
and
talk
to
you
about
an
even
earlier
time.
I've
moved
to
bloomington
in
1993
I
was
20
years
old,
single
mom
and
had
a
three
month
old
baby
girl.
My
first
job
out
of
the
gate,
was
as
an
accounts,
receivable
collections
clerk.
A
Fortunately,
she
did
move
or
unfortunately
I
did
have
to
move
with
her
husband
who
worked
for
state
farm,
and
so
thankfully
I
had
already
begun
to
learn
her
role
and
I
moved
right
into
the
hr
management
position
and
it's
pretty
much
history
from
there.
So
I
did
complete
my
bachelor's
degree
at
illinois
state.
I
did
go
on
to
complete
my
mba
and
my
career,
like
I
said,
has
been
a
little
bit
non-traditional,
but
in
hindsight
has
prepared
me
to
be
the
leader
I
am
today.
A
It
took
me
on
a
path
of
different
industries,
and
so
I
unintentionally
got
to
spend
time
in
the
education
industry.
I
spent
a
few
years
in
the
banking
industry
quite
a
few
years
in
the
healthcare
industry,
and
now
I
am
in
a
role
in
city,
leadership,
local
government
and
I
could
not
love
it
more.
I
am
also
going
back
to
school
to
get
my
doctorate
in
public
administration.
A
That
has
been
an
eye-opener
and
I
have
discovered,
through
my
courses
and
my
time
here
at
the
city
that
I
do
belong
in
a
public
service
role.
I
do
believe
in
the
servant,
leadership,
mentality
and
the
model
that
it
serves,
and
I
do
know
that
we
are
talking
about
women's
history
month,
but
I
would
advocate
for
all
underrepresented
groups.
We
need
to
empower
each
other.
We
need
to
lift
each
other
up.
We
need
to
support
each
other
in
everything
that
we
do.
A
A
Since
we
are
talking
about
women's
history
month
specifically,
there
are
two
female
leaders
in
history
that
I
really
look
to
for
inspiration.
One
is
maya
angelou
and
the
other
one
is
eleanor
roosevelt.
So,
as
part
of
women's
history
month,
I
would
like
to
share
a
couple
of
quotes
from
them
that
really
reside
with
me,
maya
angelou.
A
A
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
talk
about
one
other
person
who
was
a
leader
and
a
mentor
female
leader
and
mentor
for
me
and
that's
my
mom.
My
mom
was
tough
as
nails.
My
mom
is
no
longer
with
us,
but
her
lessons
and
her
memory
live
live
far
beyond
her
years,
so
two
quotes
from
her.
That
will
always
stick
with
me
when
the
going
gets
tough.
A
These
were
the
words
she
would
always
say
to
to
us
her
most
famous
one
was
siu
suck
it
up,
and
so
really
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time
for
sympathy
that
sticks
with
me.
A
She
she
was,
like,
I
said,
tough
as
nails
and
really
passed
that
on
to
to
us
her
second
quote,
which
this
one,
I
think
I
I
think
of
a
lot
and
that
that
is
take
the
high
road
there's
less
traffic
up
there,
and
so,
when
I
am
having
a
tough
day
or
I'm
feeling
frustrated
or
just
feel
like
you
know,
maybe
just
giving
up
and
walking
away
for
a
little
bit.
You
know
I
really
stop
and
think
about
her
words
suck
it
up.
A
Take
the
high
road
there's
less
traffic
up
there
and
those
are
what
gets
me
through
the
tough
times.
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
all
like
I
said.
I
have
a
very
what
I
would
consider
a
non-traditional
career
path,
but
I
do
believe
that
if
I
can
do
it,
anyone
can
do
it,
and
I
do
believe
that
women's
history
month
is
a
good
time
to
recognize
everything
that
we
have
done
as
women
leaders
and
women
in
leadership
and
I'm
very
proud
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
thank
you
for
all
that.
