Q+A
What do you love about your job?
What I love the most is that each day is different - there's always different problems to solve! I also think there's something very special about being a part of a passionate team that's working toward a common goal.
What's your definition of success?
Being fulfilled and having a sense of purpose that permeates through what you do on a daily basis - matching up purpose and your day job is the ultimate barometer of success.
Who's your current girlcrush?
Since the Emmys were on, probably Jane Fonda.
She is the ultimate female to look up to.
