Describe a typical workday in your life.

Every day is different! Somedays I’m processing reports and sending emails, others I am conducting live training or designing a course.

Do you have any secret talents/ something you’re very good at that would surprise others?

Genealogical research! I’ve been researching my family history for nearly 25 years. It’s still a thrill!

What is the farthest place you’ve traveled (or would like to travel to one day)?

Valencia, Spain. I was there for the Fallas bonfire festival of San Jose, which is held in March each year. It was something I will never forget!

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

To ask yourself will this matter in five years? If the answer is no, don’t sweat it. If the answer is yes, take care to consider your options.

Do you have any pets? Tell us about what quirky personality traits your animals have!

I have three dogs Bandito, Benny, and Butters. They may be half Shih-tzu and half poodle, but they are all attitude!
