What attracted you to Pace?

What truly defines Pace for me is the people. The warm and welcoming environment here at Pace is what drew me in and has kept me deeply connected to this institution. The strong sense of community I feel both within the departments I have worked in and those I collaborate with is unmatched by any other organization I’ve been a part of. I’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible people, and their genuine willingness to help has left a lasting impression on me.

How do you contribute toward the success of Pace?

I am fortunate in my role to be able to assist so many different teams and processes in a way that is unique to me. I provide administrative support in UKG, enhancing existing workflows and creating new processes to make everyone’s day-to-day a little more efficient. Through these efforts, I help drive Pace’s success by bridging productivity gaps and ensuring smooth operations, whether in HR or beyond.

What is your favorite part about your job?

My favorite part about my job is most definitely getting to interact with the awesome people in the HR Department! I genuinely look forward to meetings with any members in our department because I know I’ll be leaving that meeting with a smile From the very beginning, I felt truly welcome, and I’m grateful for the many opportunities to give back through my new role.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time to relax?

Recently, my go-to recreational activity has been reading! I’ve always been very into fantasy and the world-building that comes with that, so enjoying a nice book with some calming music in the background is like a dream for me. (I’m open to any recommendations!)

What would be your ultimate getaway vacation destination?

My dream vacation destination has always been Japan! The vibrant food scene, rich musical heritage, stunning art, and deep-rooted culture have always captivated me, and I’d love the chance to immerse myself in it all. Experiencing the efficiency of Japanese cities firsthand would be fascinating, especially when comparing them to the bustling energy of New York. One day I’ll make my way over there!
