If I were not so awesome at my job, I would probably be?
- A traveling artist, I mean travel + art – who wouldn’t pick that.
What experience would you recommend to others?

What else are you passionate about?
- The fight of liberating children trapped in human trafficking or abusive/negligent homes and schools. And to educate others about this issue.
