Quick Interview

What five words best describe you?

Cooperative, forthright, witty, affable, versatile.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?

Writing (essays), photography, yoga/pilates, hiking, volunteering in the community and my church, exploring my city/state/region, preferably off the beaten path. Nothing makes me happier than a hidden gem!

What make's a great boss?

A great boss is confident in his or her team and allows for latitude in both decision-making and execution of objectives. A great boss also sets the tone for the organization by cultivating an environment of optimism, ingenuity, and fairness, with a dash of humor. Finally, a great boss recognizes problems in their early stages and deals with them swiftly.

What is your yardstick for success?

Success, to me, is achieving a harmonious work/life blend. It's spending my days in a job that I love where I am not wishing my life away by counting the minutes toward 5:00 pm on Friday each week, and spending my evenings laughing with friends and family, or just enjoying solitude.

What are your long-term professional goals?

In 10 years, I wish to be fulfilling my description of a great boss (see above) and leading a carefully cultivated team of passionate professionals, working to achieve a common goal of making a positive impact on society, whether it's global or just our little corner of the world.
