FUN FACTS

Favorite thing about where I live: 
The scenic beauty of New England - ocean, mountains, forests - we've got it all! Access to world-class cultural, historical, and educational institutions and great sports teams. People tend to stay here, and the community and family bonds are very strong. I've lived here over 20 years and feel I've only scratched the surface of all the things to see and do in this area.

What's in my cup: 
Dunkin' iced coffee - of course!

Ask me about:
Dog rescue! Almost five years ago, we adopted a terrier/lab mix from a local rescue. I've learned so much about dog training and met incredible people along the way. To me, dog training is one of the purest applications of my psychology training - and it is super rewarding!

Still on my bucket list:
So much travel!

My favorite thing about PeopleMetrics is:
Our team! My experienced colleagues are incredibly smart and capable - and always willing to help. We work extremely well across projects, and we have lots of fun too!

Favorite quote or expression:
Good luck, bad luck, who knows?
