  • Productivity hack: “Color coding! I color code the different types of meetings that I have in Outlook which allows me to get a quick look at my week and decide if there’s too much going on or if I need to cut something, etc.”  
  • Favorite app: Lumosity. “It’s an app consisting of games that claim to improve your memory attention, flexibility, speed processing and problem solving. It’s fun but it also really does help with concentration, logical thinking and that sort of stuff.”
  • Source of inspiration: BrightTALK. “That’s part of my 30 minute lunch break. I’ll watch a little short webinar on content creation or digital marketing or whatever just to squeeze in some professional development inspiration.”

“I don’t self-limit and I don’t self-reject. If I want to do something and I’m curious, I’ll go for it. I try to be unafraid and fierce when I approach new challenges and things that I’ve never done before, and I ask for the opportunities that I want.”
