- What is your favorite inspirational, motivational, or positive-thinking quote?
- Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
- What's your personal connection to adoption?
- I do not have a direct connection to adoption. I love being able to work with diverse groups of people and help be a part of an exciting journey! I have previous social services background and enjoyed being able to connect the pieces together and to advocate!

- What is your favorite family tradition?
- Every year, the second weekend of December, my family has a cookie baking day! It is a big deal in our family and has sometimes turned into family members spending the night and being a two day event. We typically make a ton of cookies for Christmas Eve and to send off to other friends and family.
- What are you passionate about?

- What’s your most memorable facepalm moment?
- There is probably a new one every week but you have to learn to laugh at yourself often.
- What is one thing you cannot resist?
- I cannot resist anything with cheese. I truly believe that cheese makes any food better!
