She believes in keeping her ideas clear and simple. She believes in the principles of altruism and commitment to the greater good for all people. She believes in the value of humility and kindness. She does acts of goodness for strangers without taking credit or seeking attention. She is the type of person who can restore our collective faith in humanity.
Could you tell me about your job and how you feel about it?
My job in communications is to make things easier to understand. That encourages people to take action and create change. I love learning new things and then generating clear and simple messages that anyone can grasp.
What are some of your biggest strengths?
I consciously align myself, both personally and professionally, with people and projects that are clearly for the greater good. Smart people from fields like politics, education, or the water industry explain their goals and I help to achieve those goals. I am quick-thinking, articulate, and sincere.
What do you enjoy most about Tallahassee?
The unique canopy roads and gentle hills make this area special. The amount of government here insulates us from many challenges faced by other Florida cities. There is a wonderful small-town feeling, yet the people are educated and very well informed.
What travel destinations interest you?
I would love to return to Vienna, Austria. It has remarkable food, culture, and architecture. I am also fascinated by the Pitcairn Islands in the south Pacific. It would be so educational to immerse yourself into their culture. I’m not much for boating so that makes for a hard decision. I do like the inflatable banana boat rides that you find at popular beaches. Oh, and the most fun thing I ever did was a Jeep tour in Arizona. The mountains were really rough. It was fun but I would get so nervous that there were times I just couldn’t stop laughing.
What types of hobbies and passions do you prefer?
I like cooking lots of good foods. Cooking seems very instinctual to me. I mentor a young boy who is quite good in math. That really feeds my soul. I read a wide variety of book genres and lately have enjoyed historical fictions. Of course, I love simply spending time with my husband and daughter.
What makes you an exuberant person?
I am optimistic, engaging, and empathetic. I explain things in a clear way and consider how my words impact my audience.
What is your message to the world?
My message is quite simple; love and justice always find a way.
