Something unique about you summed up in one sentence
I always try to find the good in every person and every situation.
Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
The people are incredibly welcoming there’s always something new to learn!
In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:
Open up a shelter/foster home for stray dogs—especially “Bully” breeds.
Long-term personal or professional goal?
I would love to sort all our really old family photos and track our family’s genealogy.
You cannot start the day without doing this:
Getting active. Running, lifting weights, or rock climbing.
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
This is hard. Audrey Hepburn because of all her social work (and I’m pretty sure she was a spy during the war), Dave Chappelle (he’s a great thinker, and funny, too!), Michelle Obama (just finished her book and it was amazing), and Benjamin Franklin (one of the founding fathers, inventor, and also had really great taste in wine).
Your favorite city in the world is...and why?
Pittsburgh. I grew up there. It’s a fantastic sports town, and nowhere else do french fries come standard on a salad.
Any other facts to share?
I once went swimming in an extinct volcano in Nicaragua during a service trip!
