What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Navigating my early 20s post-grad has been difficult, and the best thing I've been told is that closed mouths don't get fed. This basically means take advantage of every opportunity you have because you don't know where it could lead you!
If you could describe your role in three words, what would they be?
I would describe my role as flexible, personable and organized.
What’s a TV show or movie you could watch on repeat without getting bored?
My choice would have to be "New Girl." I can recite lines from that show and rewatch every single episode as if it were the first time. It is absolutely my comfort show.
If you could pick a fictional character to be your coworker, who would it be and why?
There are so many I would love, but I would probably choose Barbara Howard from "Abbott Elementary." I feel like she would be a great coworker and tell me how to get my life together all in one!
