Team Member Spotlight
Hometown: I live in Cardiff-by-the-Sea CA and love it! (but part of my heart will always belong to NYC)
Favorite Vacation Spot: Aspen/Snowmass Colorado – it’s been a special place for my family for most of my life. Lots of memories. Lots of hikes. Lots of fresh-pow days.
Most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten: I’m a HUGE foodie and I’ll try anything at least once. A few things that come to mind: Duck fat caramels, corn ice cream, shrimp heads, pine needle green juice, goat butter, fish doughnuts, and kangaroo tacos.
What are you listening to right now - and why: Lately, I’m into podcasts. I’m naturally curious and I love learning. Radical Candor, NYT The Daily, and Revisionist History are some of my faves.
What are you most passionate about at work: I love that every day in this business is different. There are always new problems to solve, new people to meet, new ideas to get excited about.
If you were an animal, what would you be: An owl
Surprise party for your birthday - yes or no: I’ve never actually had a surprise party, but YES!
What was your first job: In high school, I was a “fit model” for a company that made jeans and I worked as a lab assistant at a cancer research laboratory (back when I thought I wanted to be a doctor or a scientist. Ha!) |
