What are Three Words to Describe UMACHA?
Supportive, Knowledgeable, Approachable

What has Been Your Favorite Project at UMACHA?
My favorite project happens annually, it’s the planning and coordination of Navigating Payments. This is an orchestrated event with many moving parts and we have an awesome committee and staff members who help pull it all together. I could not do it alone!

Where Would You Like to go on a Dream Vacation?
My dream vacation would be to have a view of a lake or river anywhere in or near the mountains and be surrounded by nature. There would need to be a hot spring nearby and access to a spa 24x7 with unlimited massage, pampering and meditation.
 
You are Happiest When?
I spend time with and care for my Boston Terrier dogs. I love walking them along the Mississippi River near my home and curling up with them on the couch.

Are You Messy or Organized? 
Is it possible to be both? I’d like to say I have an organized chaos going on in my office and like to keep my papers in piles vs in files. I do enjoy making lists to stay organized but my lists can also become messy sometimes too!

Least Favorite Food?
I really like all kinds of food and had a hard time with this one. I would have to say liver and onions.
