Q: What aspect of your work brings you the most joy and fulfillment?

I enjoy seeing projects through from start to finish, watching an idea move from the planning stages to the final product. It’s rewarding to see the hard work and collaboration come together into something successful.

Q: How do you manage to maintain a healthy work-life balance?

I read, like a lot, it helps me get away from my phone and laptop and make sure I take time for myself. I also spend a lot of time with my two cats, Pumpkin Pie and Count!

Q: What’s a career milestone or achievement that you’re particularly proud of?

I organized a statewide food drive, bringing in several thousands pounds of food, garnering statewide recognition for the effort which brought in more donations. We were able to help a lot of families in need during the holiday season.

Q: What's your go-to morning ritual that sets a positive tone for your day?

I make a cup of coffee and sit on my couch with Pumpkin Pie and open a window! We enjoy the fresh air together and catch up on the morning news.

Q: If you could travel to any place in the world, where would it be and why?

If I could travel to any place, I would want to travel to Athens, Greece. I love mythology and architecture and would love to spend a few days there to soak in the history of the place.

Q: Highlight a favorite item in your office that represents your personality or values.

I have a black cat coffee cup warmer that my family friend gave me. It represents a couple of things to me, my love of cats, coffee, and friends!
