What is the most satisfying part of your job?
Helping our customers solve problems. The first step is listening.

What would someone be surprised to know about you?
I am afraid of clowns but, shouldn’t most people be?

What is your most treasured possession?
That is hard for me to answer. I actually asked my husband and sister what they would say about me. Their responses were insightful and accurate:

• A meticulously handmade shawl with various lamb wool fibers (because I was borderline hysterical after thinking I left it at a restaurant once) and my disco ball (if you have ever been to one of my impromptu dance parties you would understand).
• My Pedro Friedeberg-style hand carved chair (I drove far to acquire it from some very eclectic hoarders and encountered a suicidal bird, a stubborn coyote and, a tiny tornado along the way). Basically, I treasure everything that is unique, beautiful and sentimental.

If you could be a professional athlete, what sport would you play?
A ballerina. Beyond sport, ballet is also an art.

What is your motto for achieving success?
Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.
