Q: What makes you most excited about your job?
A: I love that every day I get to meet new people and learn about new consumer companies that leverage modern technology. Even through the pandemic, thanks to Zoom, I have been able to meet so many founders and to learn about their innovative companies from around the world. I also love learning daily from my Clerisy partner Lisa Myers, who is so smart and has a truly complimentary skill set and experience to my own.
 
Q: What is one of your proudest accomplishments?
A: Being a working mom. I would never have wanted to miss out on motherhood or a busy career. I am proud to be doing my best to balance both.
