What’s one new challenge or project that you are currently working on that excites you? As a very new member of the VBA team, my new challenge is to learn about the VBA and title agencies, my role as an HR Director, and my new coworkers. I am excited to learn ways I can add value through my role and positively contribute to the success of the association and title agencies.
