What do you like most about your job?

I adore my co-workers and feel very grateful for the friendships that have been cultivated due to Alliant. I also really enjoy puzzles, and a lot of my work is digging in and figuring out how we got from point A to point B.

​​​​​​

What did you do before you came to work here?

I previously lived in Colorado and worked for an oil and gas company, working in the accounting department of course.

​​

What do you like to do on the weekends?

My weekends consist of the gym, wrangling the pack (Hazel, Marg, and Teddy), and usually a local event with friends. One weekend a month I head up to Seattle to visit my two favorite nephews. I can lay low and relax, but my default setting is to be busy with friends and activities.​​

​​

What is something unique or surprising about you?

I can make friends in nearly any situation and am approached by strangers often. One of my dearest friends I met at the Keller auditorium, we sat next to one another, struck up a conversation and before the show began, we had exchanged phone numbers and purchased tickets to a ballet three weeks later. ​

​​

Sports?

I am not a committed sports fan, but I do enjoy attending games. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be basketball. I am looking forward to our incoming WNBA team, Portland Fire. 

​​​

When you were a little kid, what did you want to do when you grew up?

Ballerina. I started ballet when I was only 3yo and traded walking for twirling and leaping. My childhood bedroom was drenched in ballet slippers and tutus.​

​​

Do you have any pets?

LOL, just a small pack of frenchies. I believe those closest to me are genuinely concerned that I’ll just keep adopting dogs – I can’t say it’s an unwarranted concern.

​​​

Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

Some will already know this fact, but I was a competitive tap dancer in my youth. I still own the shoes I competed in and even took an adult tap class a couple of summers ago with two of our co-workers.
