What has been your coolest work experience?

I have the privilege of working with a lot of great clients, but I am especially proud of the work we did to support the development of a COVID-19 vaccine and a potential treatment. To be part of something that the entire world was waiting for was really special.

What do you like best about what you do?

I’m presented with new challenges every day. I am very solution oriented, so I like facing new obstacles and helping others overcome them.

What advice do you have for emerging talent in the field?

Be resourceful. Take advantage of the assets you have available to find answers and problem solve – whether that means asking questions of your colleagues, using the internet to dig up more information, or calling trusted peers and mentors. The ability to be resourceful supports so many other skills that are required in order to be successful.

What would the title of your autobiography be?

. . . Asking for a Friend.

What’s the first thing you would buy/do with $1 million?

Explore Europe with my family, with stops in France, Italy, Greece, and Croatia. But I would do it in style – traveling by private plane, hiring a nanny to help with my three- and six-year-old, renting entire villas, having meals prepared by a private chef. This sounds expensive . . . How long do you think the money will last?

What’s the last book you read?

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.
