“Bloom where you are planted. A memorable career consists of multiple successes over the course of one’s life.
It’s easy to be discouraged by various circumstances, but a successful person can take on any challenge and ultimately create victory.”

“The best claims professionals are not the ones who always know the right answer; they’re the ones who always know how to ask the right question. If you know how to ask the right question, you will always find the right answer. Remain curious. Remain passionate.”
