What excites you about the Summit Project and moving to Workday? 

A project like this really gives us the opportunity to explore the "why" behind every thing we do. It gives us a chance to evaluate what we need and where we can make things better. 

What are some fun facts about yourself?

I live in Florence with my husband, two kids, and dog. I've lived in four states and have never felt more at home than in New England. I love music (all of it, especially live), playing cards (especially cribbage), audiobooks (and podcasts), diet coke (in a can), sour patch kids (especially strawberry), and watching sitcoms with my kids (currently Brooklyn 99).

Personal or inspiring quote you would like to share?

"Stop expecting the worst: at least as many things could go right as could go wrong. Think of optimism as a way of sitting in the sun now, regardless of what the weather might be tomorrow or next week." – Maggie Smith
