How long have you been a member of PMINJ?

I have been a member of PMINJ for 20 years and recently celebrated my PMINJ Anniversary


‍

What are some of the benefits you enjoy most about being a member of PMINJ?

I enjoy attending the events and, on average attended 3 to 4 events per year before the pandemic.

‍

Can you share a memorable experience or accomplishment as a member of PMINJ?

By attending the PMINJ events, I have gained a great deal of confidence in how to present information to others by attending the in-person events and observing how the PMINJ presenters convey their message.


‍

What is your favorite thing(s) to do outside of work and PMINJ?

I started dancing the week after my 40th birthday, where I walked across a bed of fire in the Meadowlands Arena with Tony Robbins at a three-day event, i.e., Firewall. The first day of the Tony Robbins event is where you make a goal and walk across the fire at night in the parking garage, and my goal was to learn how to dance. I just turned 60 in November 2024. I had never danced until I turned 40, and now I can perform in front of a stage of people. I did a Rumba to the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" in front of 200+ people at a variety show in October in Lakewood, NJ. I got a lot better than I ever would have thought possible back when I started.
