In this series of articles, we take five minutes to chat with a member of the TeamBonding team so you can get an idea of the sort of people we are. In this installment, we talked to Contract Marketing Manager, Jennifer Merrigan, about her dream vacation, what famous people she would invite to dinner, and more!
What is your favorite part of working for TeamBonding?
Being a part of a team that has so much enthusiasm for what they do! You can tell just by sitting in a single meeting.
If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be?
Probably the ACOTAR world. It’s intense, but the setting and characters are worth it.
If you could take only three items with you on a deserted island, what would they be?
A fully loaded Kindle, a giant bottle of SPF, and a hammock. That covers entertainment, survival, and sanity.
If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?
Egypt. It’s the top of my travel list. I’ve made a point to leave the country at least once a year since having kids, and this one’s the big goal.
What is your favorite food?
Tacos. You can change them up endlessly and never get bored.
What is the name of your favorite restaurant? Where is it located?
Mandarin Hide in St. Pete. It’s mostly a cocktail spot, but the food and atmosphere are always on point.
If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why?
Teleportation. I’d travel way more without the hassle.
If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future?
The future. I’m curious about what’s next—especially in tech and health.
What is your favorite four-legged creature and why?
Coyotes. They’re clever, adaptable, and a little bit mysterious. I’ve always liked how they find a way, no matter the environment.
If you could invite three famous, historical leaders to dinner, who would you invite and what food would you eat?
Maya Angelou, Cleopatra, and Anthony Bourdain. I’d keep the food simple—mezze, flatbreads, wine—so we could just talk and listen.
