The PwC experience includes an inclusive workplace community, a culture of flexibility, infinite learning opportunities and personalized coaching supporting career development. We are working toward a future where there is increased emphasis on growth and development, rewards and benefits are customized, well-being is further stitched into our daily experiences, and there is flexibility to support our people as their lives and needs shift over time.

Are you ready to make an impact?
Q: How long have you been in your current role, and what were you doing previously?
A: I am currently the People Experience and Markets CoE Leader at PwC and have been in this role for about a year. Prior to that, I served as our US People Strategy Leader and Chief of Staff to our Chief People Officer for approximately 3 years. I started my career at PwC about 26 years ago and have grown across the firm in a variety of ways. While I started in our Assurance practice as a CPA and auditor, I realized that working with our people and developing our people strategy was my passion.
Q: What’s the one career move you’ve made that you’re most proud of?
A: Taking the leap from client service to human capital work was a big leap for me but one that I knew was the right move as it allowed me to follow my passion of truly making a difference in the lives of our people. This shift in my career has allowed me to work with our leaders to create a strategy that is in line with our purpose and values as a firm, but also in line with what I believe is best for our people. I’m also proud of my involvement in our Diversity and Inclusion strategy and our People Leadership Team which help to drive our people initiatives and impact change at the firm.
Q: Are you involved in any programs, networking groups, mentoring opportunities? How did you get involved?
A: I am a proud member of the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) Board of Trustees, even serving as a chair in the past. The DCAC works together with the public and private agencies to investigate, prosecute and provide healing services for child abuse cases in Dallas County. It’s a program that I am extremely passionate about and dedicate quite a bit of my time to. At PwC, I am involved with a number of mentoring activities. They range from formal programs to informal relationships. At this point in my career, I find it important to me to give back, share lessons that I've learned, and help develop our future leaders.
Q: What advice do you have to others in your industry who want to take their career path to the next level?
A: Don’t underestimate the power of relationships. It’s critical to build a network across a variety of levels and backgrounds, and to build connections with key decision makers at your company. Also be sure to find mentors and allies who will advocate for you as you grow in your career — and who will be willing to have tough conversations with you about your growth and performance. Those are the people who will make you better and help you to excel. It’s also important to work hard and demonstrate a high quality work deliverable on everything that you do. And identify what you’re good at and what you enjoy, so you know the next level roles to shoot for. Sometimes the right path for you in your career means taking a step sideways or even pivoting to a new path altogether. Make your aspirations known, never too early, and repeat them often. And of course, help others along as you advance.
Q: What’s something you think most people (perhaps even current employees) don’t know about your company that you think they should?
A: We have a team dedicated to enhancing the experience our people have while they are working at PwC, and that’s the People Experience team that I lead. Over the years, we’ve spearheaded things like bringing everyday flexibility to the way we work, changing the way we dress at work to be more casual day to day, and providing our people the space to balance their personal and professional lives by empowering them to work where, when and how it best works for them. We’ve also supported our firm-wide efforts to arm our people with resources to increase and enhance their digital footprint. Most recently, our focus has been how we manage in the midst of a pandemic - how we manage our work, our stress and our priorities outside of PwC.
Together we can create change. Together we can make an impact. And the only way we can tackle the challenges of a fast-changing world is with people like you.
