Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight

The culture at Bold Insight is like nothing I have ever experienced. Words cannot describe the learning opportunities, support, generosity, respect and laughter that fills the office on a daily basis. My favorite part is simply having the opportunity to work with such amazing people.

In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:

I’d be sitting in a small venue listening to live music, preferably Amos Lee, Martin Sexton, Bob Schneider or any singer-songwriter.

How long have you been in the UX field?

5 years

Your favorite city in the world is...and why?

Chicago because it’s where my family and friends are.

Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:

The entire cast of Impractical Jokers.

Long-term personal or professional goal?

Personal: I’d like to run one more marathon by the time I’m 50. And, do a triathlon with my mom and 2 daughters. Professional: I’d like to continue to enhance my skills and knowledge in this industry. I also want to be able to type as fast as Kate H!!!

Any other facts to share?

My laugh is loud and obnoxious!!! And, I can’t dance or sing (although deep down I think I can do both).
