- What did you want to be when you were a kid?
- In the 4th grade, I had my sights set on being a negligence defense attorney. My best friend wanted to be a doctor, and I thought she might get sued a lot, because she just seemed to always find herself in a mess for no reason.
- What is your favorite activity to unwind from work?
- I enjoy playing golf – whether it is on the simulator or outdoors. To unwind, I often need to focus, and nothing is better than having to get singularly focused. Plus, I love to constantly challenge myself.
- If you were to give a TED Talk, what would it be on and why?
- Business success out of my grandma’s tamale recipe.
- Who are three people, living or past, that you would most want to have dinner with?
- Prince Rogers Nelson
- Amelia Earhart
- John Maynard Keyes
- What skills are most important in your role?
- Communication and negotiation.
- How do you describe your job to someone outside of the industry?
- I’m a navigator. I help all types of clients just figure out how to navigate government. Sometimes this means understanding regulatory rules, other times it means understanding our legislative framework. Either way, my role is to help advise clients on how to navigate the system so they are heard.
- What’s one thing you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
- Everything is circular.
- What is one thing about MLC that makes us great?
