What is your proudest professional accomplishment?
Throughout my career, I have been creating an Industry 101 Power Point that is continually presented to the new hires/Interns within their first week at my organization. It allows for a chance to have a great, relaxed conversation about our company and the industry in general. I have become the go-to person for Industry knowledge on my team and am happy to keep everyone in the know!

What is your biggest professional challenge?
My biggest professional challenge has been saying “No.” I find this to be difficult because at this stage in my career I am trying to continually prove my value to my team and organization, but also need to realize that putting too much on my plate is not a good thing.

What’s your favorite event that you’ve been to?
My favorite event that I’ve attended was the YPG Bootcamp @ Google in December 2017. I enjoyed this event because it had a wide array of speakers and breakout sessions that gave a great overview of relevant industry topics. It also had great food and allowed for terrific networking opportunities!

What is your favorite restaurant in your city?
KiKI’s on the Lower East Side – best Greek/Mediterranean food! Top notch ambiance and overall great vibes…highly recommended.

What is your favorite show/program?
My favorite show is Seinfeld. I can watch that show on repeat, but I did just finish The Office ( I know..I don’t know how I made it this long either) and thought it was fantastic. Still have not watched any GoT…

What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
I would either be a teacher/professor or a ski instructor. My mother is a teacher and my favorite hobby is skiing. I can see myself getting great joy of those two jobs.
