Tell us about yourself.

I'm from a suburb of Chicago, graduated from the University of Illinois (Go ILLINI!), and moved to Colorado to enjoy the great weather and beautiful views. I miss the sandy beaches, water skiing, and lakes in the Midwest; however, hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing in the Rocky Mountains have certainly been a fun alternative. I have two amazing sons who are Colorado natives – and do not support my Cubbies or Bears. What?!

What is a fact about you that surprises people?

I was a Brand Director for a celebrity.

What are your hobbies?

I love the outdoors. Any activity in which I get to be outside is how I like to spend my time. Hanging out with friends and family also energizes me.

Who is your hero?

My heroes are people who are compassionate, kind, supportive, have integrity, and love to laugh and be adventurous.

What are your favorite foods and movies?

Food is just plain good, and while I enjoy trying new things, Lou Malnati's pizza is at the top of my list in addition to Thai/Vietnamese food and seafood. And of course bread. Who doesn't love bread? Hey #LouMalnatis, feel free to send a six-pack pizza package to our AimHire office so my lovely coworkers and I can delight in the deliciousness of Chicago pizza! ;) My favorite movies/TV shows are comedies. If it makes me laugh out loud, it is time well spent. 

Where do I want to travel?

I've been to Italy, France, Belgium, England, and Switzerland and hope to explore more European countries. The history, different customs and cultures, architecture, and food are fascinating.
