1.      What is your favorite color?

 Midnight blue, burnt orange, and taupe.

2.      What is your favorite activity outside of the work place?

 Outside of work I like to spend time with my boyfriend and our dogs. We enjoy hiking, or as

close to it as we can get around Myrtle Beach, going to the dog park, going to the beach,

watching Hell’s Kitchen, and playing the PlayStation.

3.      If you had unlimited funds for a week, where would you go and what would you do?

 With unlimited funds for a week, I’d book a camping and hiking trip in Alaska for myself, my

boyfriend, and our two dogs. I would also buy a house outright where I live, furnish it, and

decorate it. 

4.      What is/are your favorite sport team(s)?

 I can’t say I really follow sports anymore, however, I do really enjoy hockey.

5.      Which character (TV, movie, etc.) is most like you?

 Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice (my all time favorite book!). She is intelligent, witty,

honest, sensible, clever, and sassy. She’s also able to overcome obstacles, including herself, to

find happiness.

6.      What movie could you watch over and over again, and why?

 There are a few but Gangs of New York stands out. It’s an incredible movie and Daniel Day

Lewis is amazing.  

7.      What animal would you be and why?

 Probably a spider monkey.  They’re adorable, nimble, can climb and jump around, and still

have full dexterity with their opposable thumbs. My other choice would be a baby sloth. Again, they’re adorable

and they love to sleep.

8.      What do you think is the secret to a good life?

 I think the secret to a good life is to find gratitude and joy in the small things.  Life can

get hard but if you are able to pull gratitude and joy from the little things, you realize that they can be stepping stones to

the next big thing. When you feel down, start naming things you’re grateful for. You’ll soon realize your life is a lot better than

you thought. Dogs help a lot too. They make everything better. 

9.      What is your favorite quote?

 "The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be;

and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them." -Socrates

 And "Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, "you owe me." Look what

happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky." -Hafiz

10.  Tell us something fun about yourself.

 I’ve driven cross country twice. The first time, I went the northern route (east to west) with a

friend of mine and camped out pretty much the entire way. I’ve woken up at the base of the

Grand Tetons, fed chipmunks out of my hand at Crater Lake, took in the incomparable beauty

of Montana, and driven through giant redwoods in Northern California. The second time, I went the southern route. That time

it was just me and my little chihuahua Kevin. We went to the Grand Canyon, drove through the deserts of New Mexico and

Arizona, enjoyed beautiful Austin Texas, visited New Orleans and sampled their delicious foods, before landing in a couple feet

of snow in Central Maine. After the first trip, I decided to stay in California and was there for 5 years before driving back to the

East Coast.
