What do you most like to do to unwind?
Reading before bed has been a habit since I was a kid. I’m always looking for recommendations for new fiction books.
What has been your favorite work or personal project so far?
I’ve gotten to manage the college alumni magazine for the past few years, and it’s always very satisfying when our team publishes a new issue. I’m also pretty excited to be wrapping up my master’s thesis project.
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
My husband and I went to Peru in 2019 as a one-year anniversary trip. Machu Picchu is just amazing as it looks in photos, and we enjoyed just hanging out in an AirBnB in Lima’s art district for a few days.
Which TV show do you never miss?
How about shows I could watch over and over? We just finished “Schitt’s Creek,” which I thought was hilarious and heartfelt. I’m also a big “Parks and Recreation” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” fan.
What was the first concert you attended?
Peter, Paul and Mary, with my parents. First one I got to pick was Boyz II Men, and the first one I went to without my parents was Hootie and the Blowfish. So that should sufficiently “date” me.
