What is your favorite part of working for TeamBonding?
It is such a creative environment, and the culture is so positive and uplifting!

My son, my espresso maker, and a good book.

Ice cream sandwich made with chocolate chip cookies!

What is the name of your favorite restaurant? Where is it located?
Emma’s in Wareham. Unassuming on the outside, the food and atmosphere inside are off the charts.

If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why?
To fly! Ever since I was a little kid I’ve thought flying over the city would be the most amazing experience.

If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future?
The past, to meet my grandparents.

What is your favorite four-legged creature and why?
Doggo’s for sure! They are always so ridiculously happy to see you, and who doesn’t love that?

If you could invite three famous, historical leaders to dinner, who would you invite and what food would you eat?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Barack Obama. We would have Bún Chả (rice noodles with grilled pork and pickled vegetables) which Obama ate with Anthony Bourdain on his visit to Vietnam.
