Hometown: Johns Creek, GA
What's something on your bucket list?
I want to visit every national park in the U.S! I have a national parks passport where I collect ink stamps of each park I’ve been to.
What's your favorite place you've traveled to and why?
Vancouver! Their national parks are beautiful, and I’m a big fan of the fir trees over there.
Favorite family tradition:
Every Christmas, my parents and I do a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle together and frame it when we’re done. We also usually have a Christmas movie playing in the back. Our favorite is Home Alone.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Thus far, my proudest accomplishment was getting into the Scheller Evening MBA program this year. I’m proud of the work and effort I put in to prepare my application while working full-time. Most importantly, I’m proud of my decision to invest in my growth professionally and personally.
What did you want to be when you were small?
As a kid, I wanted to be a cinematographer or film editor. I love movies, and it is one of my favorite mediums of storytelling. It’s fascinating to see the marriage of the technical and artistic choices at play and how those elements help deliver a message.
My life story in exactly one sentence:
So far so good.
My favorite restaurant in Atlanta:
Café Intermezzo- they have great coffee and pastry selections, and I love the European-style ambiance. Whatever you order, just make sure to save room for some cheesecake. It’s a must.
My favorite comfort food or family recipe:
I crave my mom’s home cooked meals, especially when she makes pan-fried rice noodles. It’s kind of something to die for.
