What do you most like to do to unwind?
My office doubles as my workout room, which has been a life saver during quarantine! Often I begin or end my day with an online workout class to ease the transition between work life and home life.
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
After graduating from undergrad, my best friend and I lived abroad in Wellington, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia for a year and a half working and traveling. I would love to make it back to those beautiful places again someday.Â
One thing you’re willing to spend way too much on . . .
Groceries and kitchen gadgets! I love to cook and bake, and high quality supplies are always a must have when trying out new recipes, or putting on a dinner party for friends.Â
Which TV show do you never miss?
Friends and The Office. IÂ have watched each episode of both shows more than I can count.
Who was the most famous person you met and where?
When I was younger, I had the opportunity to meet Jane Goodall. She was so ahead of her time in her advocacy for nature and animals, and I have so much respect for her life’s work and mission to spread knowledge and awareness about the importance for caring for all lives on planet earth.
