What do you do away from work?
My time away from work is often spent with my family. My husband is a fellow WFU alum. You will often find us and our toddler daughter at sporting events wearing Old Gold and Black cheering on our Demon Deacons. I also enjoy working in my yard and gardening. I am an avid reader of murder and political thrillers. While I am very process and data-driven, I also have an artistic side. I enjoy photography, floral design from the flowers and plants in my yard, along with tap and jazz (I dance with 15+ women on a weekly basis).
What would I tell my college-age self?
Do not put yourself in a box. Study what you love but know that it doe not determine your next steps after graduation. Embrace Wake Forest University – go to sporting events, theatre shows, Face2Face events, anything that interests you. I know this can be especially hard if you are in a 10-month program but take advantage of these things. When you are out and working, you will not have these opportunities as readily at your fingertips (and they often come with a cost instead of being free as a student).
