How long have you been a GLI Ambassador? I am currently in my 2^ndyear.

What is your favorite part about being a GLI Ambassador? I really enjoy meeting people and learning about all of the new and expanding businesses and opportunities in our area. I also like connecting people and becoming a resource for referring other GLI members I know that provide great products and services.

A fun fact about me is… My nickname is “Caniski” as I started water skiing at age 6 and haven’t stopped since!

What is the best career advice you’ve received? Use change to your advantage! As a small business owner, I am always looking for new ways to grow my business and provide exceptional service to my customers in new ways. Change is hard when you aren’t ready so its important to constantly evolve and be a leader at the forefront of your field or you will get left behind. Change is only difficult if we aren’t prepared for it.

What does being a GLI investor mean to you? Being a GLI investor allows me to learn much more about the Louisville community and its stakeholders. I enjoy and value the opportunity to make a positive impact in a variety of ways.

What is your favorite thing to do in Louisville? I really enjoy the restaurant scene but my favorite thing would have to be attending the annual car show at the KY Expo Center with my dad.

What do you to make Louisville GREATER? I support local businesses in every way that I can. Being a GLI Ambassador has helped me connect so many business people with one another and it provides us all the opportunity to become even more successful.
