Professional/Personal Mantra or Motto
May we be so naïve to think that love can change the world. -Ryan Hurst Carter
In my profession, I am most fulfilled when…
I am helping other people and feel connected to what I'm doing.
What personal or professional activities/involvement are you most passionate about?
I've worked for two housing non-profits (Appalachia Service Project and Habitat for Humanity), and I feel strongly about the need for all people to have access to safe, affordable housing.
When I'm not working, I enjoy…
running, writing creatively, reading, and baking bread!
Where did you receive your education?
I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and came to Wilmington, NC to get my Masters in Creative Writing.
What is something about you that might surprise most people?
Mustard is my favorite condiment.
I'm known around the office for…
being featured in a Youtube video series called "Toliet Time," which involved me singing a bluegrass song while sitting on a broken toilet in a backyard.
What is your Spirit Animal?
Even though I am not nearly as comfortable in the water, I would say a dolphin because they seem to be generally joyful and intuitive.
