Self-Q&A
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Compassionate, Intuitive and Pragmatic.
How would your friends describe you?
Considerate and a good drink-maker. I think I’m funny, so they may think I’m funny too. (I haven’t fully determined if they’re laughing at my jokes or out of sympathy for me because I tried to be funny…)
What do you enjoy doing to relieve stress?
Binge-watching a tv show or an in-house spa day, most likely both at the same time.
What’s the greatest bit of advice a parent or mentor has given you?
“I want you to do your best, that’s all I ask for,” was a hard concept for me to get as a child. Especially when it came to school and sports, I’ve always wanted to be the best. As an adult I now realize I don’t have to be good at everything, and that I shouldn’t compare myself to others. Even if I make a mistake, I will try harder next time. My best should always be 100% of my effort.
How would you spend one million dollars?
The practical side of me would first pay off my student loans. Next, I would make sure my family is secure. I’d also like to invest some money with the help of a reputable financial advisor. The rest of the money would go towards traveling. An extended vacation would be a dream come true.
What is one important skill every person should have?
Customer service. It is the most difficult/ stressful industry people work in, and if everybody had half the patience those workers have, the world would be a nicer place.
What is your favorite outdoor activity?
Riding my bike or going for a hike!
