How did you learn about CMC Energy Services?
Tina Bennet reached out to me and I fell in love with the company’s mission, vision and values.
What interests you the most about CMC and its vision and values?
I love the mission’s focus on low- to mid-income communities. I am driven to advocacy for the most vulnerable from my policy background as I firmly believe that as you benefit and equip the most vulnerable in society all others benefit as well.
What do you do with your free time?
I love hiking, taking long walks and spending time with my nine godchildren.

I am a frequently requested public speaker on a variety of topics including, but not limited to, equity policy, health equity, women’s leadership, caregiving, diversity and inclusion, healthcare administration and community and population health.
As a sports crazy company, what teams do you support?
My father was a Philadelphia Eagle’s fan, so I’ve got to remain supportive. I also have a little brother that played for nine NBA teams, but was initially drafted to the Cleveland Cavs and ended his career with the Utah Jazz. Staying true to family, I’d have to say it’s one of those two.
