On My Desk Right Now
A figurine of a woman praying and a photo of my 94-year old grandfather. These two items have been at my desk for more than 15 years and serve as a reminder of who I am and keep me grounded and balanced during my decision making, despite the challenges ahead.
What I do when I'm not at Work
I love to travel and I am an avid entertainer. I love hosting dinner parties, barbeques or just a pizza-movie night with my friends and colleagues. Making time for the ones that I love is one of my highest priorities.
My Media Mix
Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Orange is the New Black and House of Cards. I follow the news throughout the day, and rely on the internet heavily to keep me updated on what's happening around the world.
If I weren't a CBO, I'd be
A finance professor. I love working in the academy and have a real passion for finance, being a professor was my intended career choice.
