Just Because…
What do you do outside of work? I enjoy collecting various hobbies, but my staple activities are crocheting, reading, watching documentaries and tending to my house plants. Otherwise, I love exploring new coffee spots and catching live music with friends. I am a concert junkie and always look forward to seeing my favorite artists.
Favorite podcasts? I tend to lean more towards audiobooks, but I enjoy podcasts like Against the Odds.
Music you put on while you’re working? I like to let my liked songs on Spotify guide the way - my favorites primarily consist of R&B, metal, pop, reggaeton, and rap so I never know what I’m getting!
One book (or more, if you must) you'd recommend that you've read in the last 2 years? The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein.
Favorite childhood breakfast cereal?Lucky Charms - with the most marshmallows possible! My sweet tooth (and love for extra marshmallows) persists to this day.
