Furthermore, Dani Busboom Kelly stated that she believes a couple of changes would help the team to reach the top.

"The culture has been really fun to watch, and you never really know what you are going to walk into, and it's been really great to see this team really love each other and really be collaborative and work through things that you might need to work through. There's not a ton of change, to be honest. It's more of putting a stamp on it, making it my own. This team knows how hard it is to get to that moment, and small tweaks here and there would get us to the top," she said.
