Many who know her testify that she is very talented, graceful, faithful, and a good listener. She asserts that being able to listen to others is crucial to her work. Alas, as she collaborates with those of many ethnicities, values, and life situations, she knows the importance of letting people express themselves and, as necessary, vent. She feels that tolerance is the most valuable trait she can offer to her colleagues and residents. As a result, she knows when to speak and when to patiently listen.

She feels it is crucial for everyone to work together and honor the needs and rights of others as well as their own.

Much of her values and business ethics are rooted in her strong Christian faith. She is able to understand and honor the religious beliefs of others, but she is a committed Christian who is the music director of a local Lutheran church. From this faith, she has found the strength to be a manager to her associations, a wife to her husband, and a mother and grandmother to all of her children. She says that she has been able to do all of this by taking things one day at a time. Most assuredly, she declares, God gives you strength and wisdom exactly when you need it--not before or after!
