“Tyra and I have worked on the same team at Microsoft for over 2 years and also on different teams. In both circumstances, she has proven to be a most reliable resource and teammate. Always stepping up to help her teams find success and providing new ideas in generating sourcing leads for the business. When circumstances came up that didn't allow me to have access to resources or tools, she unselfishly volunteered her time to help me stay on target by keeping on time with my assignments until I regained access. Her leadership regularly asks her to take on additional assignments knowing she can be counted on to be successful with her sourcing acumen and outstanding project management skills. Recruiters continually ask to partner with her on difficult to fill positions and for her drive to find the best talent. I can say, I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Tyra and team up on several projects. I have no hesitation in rating her an "Outstanding" from a peer review. ”

Walking for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is near and dear to my heart. This was my first year, as my Mother In Law was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. This is another cause that I will continue to support as she is finishing treatment and we wait for a final diagnosis.

I was honored to be chosen as a volunteer for this event, which benefitted the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
My first few hours were spend on the 40th floor bottle change assistant, where I helped guide firefighters to their teams for bottle changes. I also helped by yelling to the teams the incoming climbers, so they'd be ready.
The next few hours were spend on the top floor, finish line where I helped guide firefighters past the finish line. Helping them get their equipment…I was honored to be chosen as a volunteer for this event, which benefitted the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The next few hours were spend on the top floor, finish line where I helped guide firefighters past the finish line. Helping them get their equipment removed and settling in for some much needed rest.
A humbling experience for sure, and I'll definitely be back next year!! -
