I enjoy running and have run in six marathons, including the Boston Marathon in 2012, the year there was a terrorist attack.

What was the first job you ever had?
I worked Panera as a teenager. I loved their coffee and bagels!

Mr. McCort was my AP US History teacher. I loved being challenged in his class and he was a very engaging lecturer.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
Done is better than perfect.

What is a passage of Scripture you turn to for encouragement?
I am always encouraged by the Sermon on the Mount, really any part of it or its entirety. I also love Philippians, especially chapters 3 and 4, with Paul’s encouragement to remain steadfast and not be anxious.
