What is your hidden talent?

Without a doubt, my investigative prowess. I have an uncanny ability to find information on most anything or anyone, even when given the smallest detail to start. Since I was a child, my mother has said I’m uniquely inquisitive (actually she said I was “annoyingly nosy”), and my friends and family believe I could’ve been a personal investigator due to my sleuthing abilities. Thankfully, I now get to use those talents in my current role researching projects, clients, and the market, learning as much as I can to make well-rounded, strategic decisions.

If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, for what would you have a good chance at winning medal?

Wine Tasting. It’s a marathon – not a sprint!

What’s the one piece of advice you would give others about life?

If you want to pour into other people’s “cups,” you have to keep yours full, too. Nurturing your own mental, physical, and spiritual health, and surrounding yourself with people and things that keep your cup “full” will enable you to pour into others’ without becoming depleted. When you don’t take care of yourself, you’re depriving others of all that your best has to offer!
