My Vynamic color
Strawberry Red – When I was a kid, I grew strawberries in my mom’s garden every year. They’ve always been my favorite food. Biting into a strawberry is like tasting peak summer
Bottom line
I love to solve problems, whether it’s breaking down a complex issue to understand the underlying need or creating and implementing new solutions to drive positive business outcomes
Best early career advice received
Change is uncomfortable. In order to grow, be comfortable being uncomfortable
My pet
I have a cuddly Black Lab named Ollie who loves swimming, playing fetch, and begging for treats
How I unwind
Every weekend my husband, my dog, and I hike one of the many beautiful Trustees properties around Boston. We love to get outside for exercise and fresh air as a great way to decompress
Boston favorite
Siena Farms CSA membership program – it includes a huge box of seasonal and local vegetables every week. They have a great, little store in the South End
The one app I can’t live without
All Trails – it’s perfect for discovering new walking paths or trails, or for finding your way back to your car when you get lost!
