my career journey started with high school. I belonged to a middle class family and my father worked very hard, was resilient and did whatever it takes to get the job done. I picked accounting because of very good with numbers and a score really well, with business, law, taxation and statistics. I was recognizing praise, which for the motivated me and I remember I used to wake up early in the morning and my mom pushing me and helping me to study and do well. And that is in my blood. It motivates me to do about even today I look really hard. Um, I went to a multicultural college in New York City and I had an opportunity to collaborate with people from around the globe, experience cultures off northeast, Southeast, Midwest, mid south on, and I got to understand and appreciate the difference in cultural norms and biographies on Ben. Also, I had a fabulous opportunity toe work in international finance, supporting 26 countries around the globe, so appreciating other's valuing differences, diversity, equity and inclusion has helped me to be the leader, and where I am today

That's a great question. So my key decisions and my job today eyes communication with board off directors and associated committees like audit and finance committees. I worked with leaders, suppliers, bankers, employees, donors on customers. Um, my key priorities, uh, include, uh, ensuring that our organization is in a strong financial position. Management off rescue them controls and and ensuring that we have educate revenue streams for growth off the organization in terms off weekly hours. The demands flexibility in our technical in nature. So, for example, during the budget time way, CFOs work harder, longer. So CFOs in general work hard. There's a lot of expected off us, so you have to be flexible in our walls.

Yeah. So one of the biggest challenges is growth. How do you increase sales? What? Our opportunities for new business. How do you What a moored off organic growth on so forth with coded. Uh um, you know what? Our opportunities and risks how much debt you can take. How much cash do you have available on example is, uh, the government introduced to the S B a a pavement production plan. We jumped on the opportunity to apply for a loan to ensure that we can keep our employees on payroll on DE so that we don't have to follow our lay off people, Paul, and we support families and those distressed times, and we're very proud that we were successful in doing so.
