What do you actually do at work: I teach situational awareness skills to the everyday person, specifically women, to save lives and prevent trauma and just released my first book on the topic. 

What was your first job? Delivering the Shopping News newspaper all over Rockville once a week in 4^th grade. I had to cross Highway 23 TWICE on the route. Now that I’m a mom to a 4^thgrader, I can’t believe my parents were okay with that. 

If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pizza. All day, every day.

What did you want to be when you were a kid? A Veterinarian or Zoo Keeper for Tigers.

What is something your obsessed with? Studying violent behaviors to learn early warning signs so I can share that knowledge with women to (hopefully) avoid themselves ever having to experience violence. And dancing to live music.

Biggest indulgence/guilty pleasure? Watching any of the Real Housewives shows.

Do you have any silly fears? Playing infield at a baseball or softball game. I have this nightmare vision of getting creamed by the ball. I don’t know why because to the best of my knowledge, I’ve never actually had it happen to me! I prefer the outfield when I’m “highly encouraged” to play with extended family.

What would other FEW members be surprised to learn about you? I can’t stand to eat yogurt. I really, really want to be able to eat it. It’s always served as a breakfast option, and many times the only other option with bagels or donuts, and my body craves a protein at breakfast. That’s why I always carry protein bars, every where I go. Haha!
