3. Where do you do your best thinking?

I do my best thinking while running. It clears the mind and gets those creative juices flowing!

Do I have to choose?

5. What are some of your passions outside of work?

I love to run, dance to a good beat; make music, and bake. The last three often collide in my kitchen when I have a set of spoons in hand.
