As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I had big plans to be a doctor- until I realized blood makes me queasy.

I have adopted Keep calm and Carry on as my motto for most things.
If you could erase any one thing from your daily routine, what would it be?
Laundry- specifically folding it.

Beach or mountains?
Beach- nothing calms me as much as the sound of the ocean.
What book are you reading right now and what is it about?
Fed White and Blue by Simon Majumdar-- It is a memoir by Simon Majumdar about his experience with immigrating to the US and the food he encountered around the country, I had the pleasure of meeting Imon as he toured our facility when he was writing the book. He felt that to talk about food in the US he also needed to discuss food insecurity so he worked with Harvest Texarkana and came to Randy Sams and other agencies to really get a feel of what we do.
Diamonds or pearls?
Depends on the occasion. I wear diamond studs daily, but I love how classy and traditional pearls look.
Do you have any phobias?
I am as claustrophobic as anyone comes and terribly afraid of heights. I also have an entirely unreasonable fear of going to the doctor.
