On a Lighter Note
What is something interesting we wouldn’t learn about you from your resume alone?
I am from a large family. I have three brothers and three sisters, so with spouses and children, our family get-togethers are huge and LOUD!
Have you visited an excellent museum?
City Museum in St. Louis is a total blast with lots of climbing. The museum is an old warehouse where artists have repurposed the pieces of old cities and built tunnels, slides, bridges, and castles. Take your kids before they’re too old!
The best piece of advice I have ever been given is…
Just something my mom would say: “Don’t worry about it. You’ve got a good brain; you’ll figure it out.”
