What’s the best part of your job?

The best part is occasionally running across a new problem you haven’t quite seen before and getting to learn something new. The only thing that sometimes tops it is running into that problem a second time elsewhere, and benefiting from your previous study.

When you’re not at work, what’s your favorite thing to do for fun?

I absolutely love road trips. I also really enjoy journaling and writing letters. My handwriting is pretty dull, but it’s a good break from computers.

Name one thing about you that most people don’t know or wouldn’t expect.

I used to live on an alpaca farm. They really do spit, and it really does stink, but they’re fluffy and very social, which makes up for it.
