What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? I have no idea what the future holds. Right now I am comfortable on this path and I hope to learn and continue to improve and eventually take on new tasks to expand my job title/skills.
How do you unwind from a busy day in contracting? Family time with my husband and kids.
Favorite book or author: I love reading and will read just about anything. I especially enjoy fictional series.
Favorite movie: "Now & Then"
Last song you purchased/downloaded? Taylor Swift's new album - my kids love it (and I'll admit I do, too!)
One word to describe your work environment: Family-oriented, close-knit. Many of my co-workers I have known most of my life.
Rules to live by in business: Your reputation always counts. Honor your obligations and agreements.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? My cousin Lauren who passed away as a teenager. We'd eat in a restaurant somewhere - her choice - so I could focus on her and not have to cook and clean!
What is your dream job? I don't really have any one dream job. I have a million. Teacher, social worker, advice columnist, wedding planner, artist (If only I had the talent), etc. The list goes on and on. I figure since it's a dream job, I can have as many as I want!
