Get to Know Me

What are your interests outside of work?

I enjoy planning and engaging in international travel, rollercoasters, Disneyland, beach activities with my family, competing with my dad and deepsea fishing. My favorite ride is Tatsu at Six Flags, but my favorite place to be is Disneyland.

Do you have any pets?

I have two dogs, LunaBella and Bandit and a gecko, Sunshine. Luna is my pup and Bandit is my daughter's. One day I was dropping my daughter and Bandit off and I told Luna and Bandit to say bye-bye, they both looked at each other then both looked at me, ears up as if to say, "WHAT? Not yet!" It was comical.
