What are your hobbies?
I love hobbies and have several! I like to work out and run/walk outside, anything crafty/artsy, reading, gardening/planting flowers, golfing, skiing, fashion and style, health and wellness, traveling, doing my nails, etc.
If you could live anywhere for one year, where would it be and why?
Florence, Italy. I studied abroad there for 5 weeks right after I graduated from college, and it was the best time of my life. Florence is my favorite city I have ever been to. It was beautiful, walkable, and the culture was outstanding. I could not say enough positive things about Florence, and I would recommend it as a vacation spot to everyone.
What is your taste in music?
I like a lot of different music, but my favorite artist is Taylor Swift. I was fortunate enough to attend the Eras Tour, which was incredible.
What is one piece of advice you would give to a jobseeker?
Be confident in your skills and abilities. Everything has a way of working itself out, and what is meant to be will be. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and continue to be resilient through challenges. There must be rain for flowers to bloom. View everything as a learning experience – always ask yourself, “How can I learn and grow from this experience?”
