“I embrace my inherently creative and curious nature nearly every day. As Einstein said, ‘It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education’ and in my case, it is education that has helped me to be even more curious. My work/life balance has always been driven by opportunities to explore the new and the different—often through my love of music, animals, photography, and imagining a better tomorrow. And though creativity and curiosity define me, interpersonal relationships are the force that gives me joy, without which nothing matters.”
