What Drives You?
“Possibilities – I thrive on working to solve problems and making things better. The status quo is not a phrase I keep in my vocabulary, and I always try to push the envelope for what is next.”
Dynamic Details
- Performing is in my blood – six musical productions, show choir, and dance.
- Born and raised a diehard Bears and Cubs fan, I learned to accept defeat and the meaning of resiliency at very young age.
- I absolutely abhor running and will usually only do it if being chased.
