# Leadership Spotlight – Dorcas Parks

 Published by [ Brown Edwards ](https://blog.becpas.com/author/brownedwards) on  Mar 27, 2023 8:00:00 AM

# **Leadership Spotlight: Dorcas Parks**

Dorcas joined the BE team in December 2000 and serves as the firm’s Director of Human Resources out of the New River Valley, VA office.

**We interviewed Dorcas to really get to know her, outside of her profession, and we were surprised to learn that she's more competitive than she looks!**

 

## **Where are you from and where did you grow up?**

I grew up in South Boston, Virginia.

 

## **What are some of your hobbies?**

I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, camping, listening to music, and playing games. I also love watching my kids play sports.

 

## **What do you consider your best quality or trait?**

I consider my best traits to be my commitment and dedication to everything I do.

 

## **What is the best advice you ever received and from who?**

I had an uncle who would always say "If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you're right!"

 

## **If you could be a superhero what would be your superpower?**

If I could pick my superpower, I would want to be able to fly. Then, I could be where ever I wanted to be in a short amount of time.

 

## **What is your favorite food?**

Without a doubt, pizza.

 

## **What do you think is your biggest contribution to the Brown Edwards team?**

I believe my biggest contribution is my work ethic and being a reliable resource for the Firm.
