Your Life Mantra:
Keep learning. Do your best. Always look forward.
Best advice you‘ve received throughout your career?
Do the job you're doing now the best you possibly can and everyone around you will notice and the next thing will come. That has generally proven true, although as I have grown in my career I also find it important to look ahead, find your personal career icons, study what they did to get there and follow suit! Also, trust your instincts.
Only you know what's right for you.
Your daily booster, the best secret to kick off your day.
Practice yoga every day.
Your secrets to recover from a long day at work, stress or lack of sleep.
There is nothing a double espresso, hot shower & a positive attitude can't face.

I'm a 70s baby. I love anything from that period. Bee Gees, Blondie, Glen Campbell. I grew up in Texas so I love country music! Give me Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard any day.
