Proud Moment: "I am so proud of my daughter and of having a family. Growing up I had never wanted to get married and having a child was not something I had really imagined, so it all came as a shock when both events happened!"

Words of Wisdom: "Work is a pretty large part of my life and I try to think of it less as achieving balance but more as maintaining a separation between office life and home life. I try to prioritize my goals at work, have become much faster at making decisions, and accept not everything is going to be perfect (my desk at work can attest to that)."
