Who (or what) inspires you in your work?
I am inspired by the people I work with and for. It’s exciting to bring a project to life and see the benefits it brings to our clients and their stakeholders.
What was your first job?
My first job was as a lifeguard. I had been a swimmer my entire life and so it was only natural for me to work at the pool once I was old enough to get a job. I spent my summers out in the sun, hanging by the pool. What could be better than that?
If you were to choose another profession, what would it be?
I would be a baker. I enjoy baking as both a hobby and for personal events and gatherings. Occasionally I take a class to learn new skills and try new treats.
