Tell us about your life outside of work.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have two beautiful little girls. Being a mom is the most important thing I will ever do!
What is your favorite color?
If you ever stop by my desk, there will be no question about it—pink!
What is the coolest thing (or a fun fact) about you?
I can juggle! Not that cool, but sorta cool. 😊
What’s the best trip you’ve ever been on?
Athens and Santorini, Greece—a lot of interesting history and beautiful views!
Describe an experience that has had a lasting impact on you.
Becoming a mom in a pandemic. My oldest was born in May 2020, when the world started shutting down. I am happy to see how far we have come since those days when there was so much unknown! For me, that time taught me a lot about myself and to never take good health and the gift of life for granted.
What would you like to be remembered for?
Kindness, having a good heart and staying true to my beliefs. ❤
What is one thing you can’t live without?
Coffee. Iced or hot—I will not discriminate. Caffeine is my blood type!
If you could pick any superpower, what would it be and why?
Definitely the ability to teleport; I would never be late anywhere ever again!
