What I Enjoy Most About My Job

Collaborating with the exceptional team at the AGA, to foster a friendly and cooperative atmosphere for members within the hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) industry to come together with a collective objective to unite and advance the industry, contributing to its continuous growth and enhancement.

My Most Significant Contribution to Our Members/Industry

I help leverage and implement search engine optimization (SEO) on the AGA and members' existing website content on hot-dip galvanized steel, optimizing it for more traffic and to reach a larger target audience who can specify HDG steel. I manage the digital marketing side of the AGA's initiatives which encompasses increasing engagement, audience reach, and followers on all of the association's social media accounts. Participated in the annual planning and coordinating of events hosted by the AGA (ThinkZinc, Annual Conference, etc.)

What I Consider the Most Interesting/Impactful Thing about HDG

I found it fascinating how the galvanizing process has been around for more than 150 years, yet I only learned about it when starting at AGA. I did not know that a metallurgical reaction forms between zinc and steel during the galvanizing process that helps to serve and protect the steel.

Other Interesting Things that Shape My Life

Travel and food are a few of my life's passions. I love exploring new restaurants and trying new foods with my family and friends. Beyond that, I enjoy maintaining and working on a healthy lifestyle through eating healthy and mindful nutrition, fuelling the body with nutrient-dense foods, and hitting the gym regularly to improve my physical strength and mental resilience.

Random Facts

Back in middle school, I accidentally set off the fire alarm on a school day due to burnt microwaved popcorn. But, of course, it was an accident, and only popcorn was hurt in the process.

Words of Wisdom

Put purpose and meaning behind everything you do; don't waste your actions because they speak louder than words.
